Police have arrested a 39-year-old woman after a man's body was found in a freezer in a home in Quebec's Lanaudière region Thursday night.

Police said she is expected to face charges of being an accessory after the fact, and of interfering with a dead body.

Officers with the Sûreté du Québec searched the home in Sainte-Julienne, about 65 kilometres north of Montreal after receiving an anonymous tip.

SQ spokeswoman Sgt. Geneviève Bruneau said Friday it's too early for them to know who the man is, how old he is, or how he died.

"The investigators are still there. They will look at the house and make sure the body is transferred to our [laboratory] in Montreal so that we will be able to identify the body," she said.

Police have not released the name of the woman they arrested, and have transferred the body to a special lab in Montreal where an autopsy will be performed on Monday.

This isn't the first time police have been called to the Sainte-Julienne home.

In January 2010, a man was shot and killed just outside the house.

Neighbours told CBC the man behind bars for that murder is the partner of the woman in police custody today.

Some of those neighbors also said activity and noise that was coming from the house had begun to scare them, and they'd had enough.
