A Stettler man has been charged with second-degree murder in the stabbing death of his father.

Stettler RCMP say they responded just before 3 p.m. on Wednesday (Jan. 15) to a call of a deceased male at a residence.

Responding members determined that the death was suspicious and took an adult male into custody without incident.

The RCMP Major Crimes Unit was called in and an autopsy was conducted Friday in Calgary, where the cause of death was attributed to multiple blunt and sharp force trauma.

The victim is identified as Barrie Douglas Johnson.
