RCMP have arrested a 30-year-old man following a fatal stabbing in Stanley Mission yesterday.

According to police, 26-year-old Frederick Thomas McKenzie was found on a street on the reserve around 10:00 yesterday morning after being stabbed by a man in an altercation.

Emergency personnel performed CPR on the victim at the scene, and then transported him to the local clinic for more treatment, but he died a couple of hours later.

An autopsy is scheduled to take place Saturday in Edmonton.

The suspect, Michael Cook, was arrested a short time after the stabbing and has been charged with second degree murder.

Cook is making an appearance in La Ronge Provincial Court today and remains in custody.
