Police say a 30-year-old man was invited into the home of an acquaintance when he was attacked.

Police say the victim is still on life support and his prognosis is not good.

“Decisions are to be made on whether medical intervention will be withdrawn,” says a Hamilton police news release.

Officers arrested a 33-year-old female resident of the apartment when she returned to the scene.

Madelene Peternel, who is also known as Madeleine Divers, is charged with robbery and attempted murder.

Police say if the victim dies, the current charges against her will be upgraded to first-degree murder. The charges on the arrest warrant for Long will also be amended.

Investigators are working on identifying a third suspect.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 905-546-3825.
