A 16-year-old boy has been charged with second-degree murder in the stabbing death of another teenager outside his school on Monday.
In a news release issued at noon Friday, police confirmed they arrested a youth, four days after the violent incident took place. The suspect appeared at the Montreal courthouse Friday afternoon, where the prosecution said it would seek an adult sentence. Crown prosecutors objected to his release. The teenager returns to court Tuesday to set a bail hearing date. His identity has not been released because he is a minor.
