Two Somali-Canadian sisters were killed in a double homicide at a south-end housing co-op Friday night, according to one of their friends.
Suad Mohamed said she is heartbroken after hearing her friends, aged 32 and 29, were killed at a home on McCarthy Road.
The friend identified them as Nasiba and Asma Noor of Ottawa.
“Both of them were the nicest people you would ever meet,” Mohamed said Saturday when reached by phone in Edmonton.
She has known the two women for about 10 years and says she has kept in touch after moving out west. She said Nasiba taught her the Quran and both sisters were well-known and actively involved in Ottawa’s Somali community.
“There are people that live in the city that are contributors; contribute to the good of the city. They were that kind of people that you can really say that about, and not just say it because it’s something people say when people die. Really, they were the definition of good citizens.”
“As long as it was good, they would partake in it. It’s too bad that they had to die so early,” she added.
Police were called to the 3200 block of McCarthy Road at around 9 p.m. and found the two deceased women inside a unit in a row of townhomes.

A Citizen reporter spotted a man standing in the cold near a set of train tracks not far from the crime scene after the killings. That man, whose identity has not been released by police, was later arrested and remains in custody. No charges have been in laid in the ongoing investigation.
Police were also speaking with family members of the victims late Friday.
A heavy dumping of snow overnight Friday and Saturday morning hampered officers’s efforts to comb the area surrounding the train tracks for evidence.
The sisters’ killings were the 23rd and 24th in the city this year.
A member of Ottawa Police’s Forensic Identification Section photographs the scene Saturday morning.
More to come.
