Suspect, 14, faces murder charge in Manitoba stabbing

A 14-year-old boy is in custody facing a second-degree murder charge after an incident at Long Plain First Nation, Manitoba RCMP say.

Manitoba First Nations Police Service (MFNPS) were first alerted to the incident on the evening of Feb. 24, when a 26-year-old man pulled up to the local detachment with serious injuries. He was given emergency treatment until he could be taken to hospital, where he later died.

RCMP say the death is being treated as a homicide, and said the victim was stabbed when dropping off a passenger at a home in the community. Police allege the man was sitting in his car when a suspect came out of the house, and an argument ensued, culminating in a stabbing.
