Montreal police (SPVM) have arrested a suspect in connection with the deadly stabbing of a 37-year-old man on the platform of the Guy-Concordia Metro station last weekend.
The suspect, 32-year-old Jean-Louis Risnique, was arrested Tuesday evening in the city’s Montreal North borough.
He is expected to appear in court Wednesday to face a charge of second-degree murder.
Officers confirmed that the victim was stabbed in the upper body during a fight with another person on the eastbound platform shortly before 11:30 p.m. on Oct. 12. Police say the accused and the victim knew each other.
The man was sent to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The man’s death is the 29th homicide of the year in Montreal.
