Police have charged a 42-year-old Vancouver woman in the death of a popular Downtown Eastside handyman.

Raymond Robertson, 56, was found dead in his apartment on March 11.

Shortly after his death police released surveillance footage of Robertson walking beside a woman in a yellow coat outside of his residence in the Unit block of East Hastings Street.

Police say Alice Susan Bullington, the woman allegedly seen in the video, was charged with manslaughter on April 6. She remains in police custody.

Investigators are hoping to find a missing jacket belonging to Robertson that went missing around the time of his death.

The black leather bomber jacket has tassels on the back and sleeves.

Police have not revealed how Robertson died, but have said his body showed signs of trauma.

Anyone with information is asked to call the VPD Homicide Unit at 604-717-2500 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
