RCMP have charged John Sproule, 20, from Lake Country, B.C. – just north of Kelowna — with second-degree murder following an early morning stabbing in Banff on Saturday.
Police said just after midnight on Sept. 3, officers responded to a call of an altercation outside a bar on Banff Avenue. A 27-year-old man from Foothills County, Alta. was stabbed to death outside a local bar in the town.
A second man who was taken into police custody has been released and was not charged.
