Alberta boy, 12, charged with attempted murder in stabbing of younger brother

The 12-year-old faces charges including aggravated assault after stabbing his 7-year-old brother, who remains in stable condition in hospital, police said.

  • Yesterday, Lethbridge police charged a 12-year-old boy with attempted murder after his seven-year-old brother was repeatedly stabbed in their southern Alberta home.
  • Back on August 27th at 4:30 P.M., police were called to a northside townhouse after a father arrived home, found his son in medical distress, and immediately called 911; the two boys were home alone.
  • Police say the older child falsely claimed an intruder attacked, but investigators allege the 12-year-old repeatedly stabbed his brother and believed he had killed him.
  • The seven-year-old victim was taken to hospital with critical injuries and airlifted to a hospital in Edmonton, where he remains in stable condition after the transfer.
  • The accused is in custody awaiting a Judicial Interim Release hearing and faces charges of attempted murder and aggravated assault, remaining unnamed under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
