A man has been charged with second degree murder following a double stabbing inside a Toronto apartment earlier this week.
Authorities were called to the high-rise Toronto Community Housing building at 150 Dan Leckie Way in the Fort York Boulevard area at approximately 12:45 a.m. on Thursday for reports of a stabbing.
Homicide Detective Sergeant Brandon Price said officers received reports that two adult males were arguing and then stabbed each other. Both men were assessed by paramedics and then transported to a trauma centre, where one died. The other remains in the hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Sgt. Price said the two men were known to each other and that there were no outstanding suspects.
The victim has been identified as 34-year-old Sean Collins of Toronto.
On Saturday, police announced the arrest of 33-year-old Brian Kelneric of Toronto. He was charged with second degree murder in connection with the stabbing and appeared remotely in court at the Toronto Regional Bail Centre on November 15.
