UPDATE: Second-degree murder charge in weekend Surrey stabbing
A 54-year-old man has now been charged in connection with the stabbing death of 35-year-old Jeremy McLellan in Surrey on Sunday.
William Engebretsen has been charged with second-degree murder after being arrested at the scene of the killing on Nov. 25.
Police say Engebretsen lived at the apartment near 128 Street and 95 Avenue with McLellan's mother. Jeremy also lived at there.
