Mounties say they have made an arrest in the murder of a woman in northern Saskatchewan.

Todd Daniel McKeaveney, who is 39, has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of Monica Burns.

The body of the 28-year-old woman was found last week on a snowmobile trail north of Prince Albert.

RCMP say she was from Sturgeon Lake First Nation but had been living in the city and was a known sex-trade worker.

Police say there's no evidence that suggests McKeaveney and Burns knew each other.

Some of the woman's relatives are walking this week along a highway from Saskatoon to Prince Albert in her memory.
