Two men have been accused of committing second-degree murder in connection with the killing of a man who was stabbed outside a business in New Brunswick over the weekend.
New Brunswick RCMP said police officers responded to the stabbing outside a business on Lorne Street in Sackville at around 7:45 p.m. Saturday.
“When police arrived, they found a man lying on the side of the road with stab wounds. The man was taken to hospital where he later died from his injuries,” RCMP said in a Monday news release.
The victim has been identified as Shawn Mitton, 44.
A 22-year-old man and a 20-year-old man were later taken into custody in Sackville in connection with the investigation.
RCMP said Tyler Murphy and Dylan Murphy appeared in Moncton provincial court on Sunday and were charged with second-degree murder.
Both men remain in custody and will return to court Tuesday.
Anyone who has information on the case is asked to call the New Brunswick RCMP major crime unit at 1-888-506-RCMP (7267) or reach out to Crime Stoppers.
