Prince Albert police have arrested and charged a second person in the stabbing death of 41-year-old Norman Wenzel.
Police say 22-year-old Rylan Hansen was arrested at a correctional facility in Prince Albert on Jan. 29 and charged with first degree murder.
He made his first court appearance at Prince Albert Provincial Court on Jan. 30.
Wenzel was killed last year on the Canada Day long weekend.
Wenzel’s oldest daughter Kerissa Wenzel-Smith told CTV News in July that her father was stabbed in the yard.
“I heard him outside, banging at the door,” the 17-year-old said. “I didn’t know who it was until I looked out the window and I saw my dad laying on the stairs.”
Police and paramedics were called to the home on Kemp Crescent at around 1:15 a.m. on July 1.
Officers found Wenzel suffering from “severe injuries.” He was taken to Victoria Hospital, where he died.
Over a month later, police arrested the first suspect. Quentin Gardiner, 38, was charged with first-degree murder.
