Two men arrested in fatal Saint John stabbing, home invasion

Saint John police have arrested two suspects following a violent home invasion and fatal stabbing on the weekend.

Police responded to a medical assistance call at a home on Prince Street West shortly after 4:30 a.m. Saturday.

Investigators say the home had been broken into and two young men had been stabbed.

An 18-year-old man was taken to Saint John Regional Hospital with serious injuries and later died in hospital.

Police have since determined the teen was a suspect in the incident. Investigators have not released his name.

A 21-year-old man, whom police say lived in the home, was also taken to hospital where he was listed in stable condition.

Police have since arrested 20-year-old Ronald McCutcheon in connection with the incident. He faces a robbery charge.

A 21-year-old suspect has also been arrested on a weapons offence.

Both men remain in custody.

Investigators are still looking for three more people in connection with the incident.

They don’t believe the home invasion was a random incident.
