An Ottawa man appeared in court Wednesday afternoon to face charges in the stabbing death of his son in an Orléans apartment on Tuesday.
John McRae, 70, was charged with second-degree murder.
Police were called to the apartment on Notre Dame Street around 6:45 p.m. Tuesday evening and found a 51-year-old man with stab wounds. He was rushed to hospital but died of his injuries.
Neighbours say they heard two men arguing loudly before emergency crews arrived.
This is Ottawa’s fourth homicide of 2015.
