A 57-year-old man is facing a murder charge following a fatal stabbing in Scarborough late Thursday afternoon.
Toronto police say they were called to the Eglinton Avenue and Danforth Road area just after 4 p.m. for reports of a stabbing.
Insp. Scott Bradbury said officers initially couldn’t find a victim after responding to the call.
“When they showed up on scene, they couldn’t find a complainant or any evidence, so they continued their investigation,” he explained.
Police later found the injured man inside a nearby apartment unit.
“At the time, paramedic services were with the officers because of the original call and started to provide life-saving measures,” Bradbury said.
The man, however, was pronounced dead at the scene.
He has been identified as 66-year-old Kananathan Kaneshnadarajah of Toronto.
Police have charged Kunchitthapathan Nudpanathan with second-degree murder.
It’s not yet clear what prompted the stabbing.
