Rohinie Bisesar has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of 28-year-old Rosemarie Junor.

Police allege Bisesar stabbed Junor at a Shoppers Drug Mart in Toronto's popular underground PATH network of shops and restaurants last Friday.

Security images taken at the time of the stabbing showed a well-dressed, long-haired woman making a hasty retreat from the drugstore.

Junor, a newlywed medical technician who worked nearby, was rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries and died five days after the attack.

Bisesar was the subject of a manhunt for several days before her arrest on Tuesday.
