Ca.news.yahoo.com reports that Alberta RCMP have charged a 20-year-old Ponoka County resident with second-degree murder in connection with a fatal stabbing at Louis Bull First Nation.
Police and paramedics were called to the scene on the night of May 1, according to a Sunday news release from RCMP. Officers found a victim suffering extensive bleeding from an apparent stab wound. CPR and first aid were administered, but the man was declared dead upon arrival.
An initial search by RCMP police dog services proved inconclusive, and the investigation was transferred to the major crimes unit. Investigators subsequently conducted a forensic examination, searched the residence, and obtained aerial photographs of the area.
An autopsy performed three days after the incident ruled the cause of death as homicide.
On Friday, RCMP arrested and charged one suspect. Terry Mackinaw has been remanded into custody and is scheduled to appear in court in Wetaskiwin on Tuesday.
