Almost five months after Joe Gauthier was stabbed to death in Victoria, a suspect has been arrested and charged in his murder.
Gauthier, a father of four children, was found suffering from stab wounds in the 1400 block of Hillside Ave in the early hours on March 10th, and later died in hospital of his injuries.
According to sources, the 35-year-old succumbed to his injuries after being stabbed several times following a fight at a house party.
Victoria police and the Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit have released few details about the case.
26-year-old Danny Creagh of Victoria, was arrested Sunday morning in Maple Ridge with the assistance of Ridge Meadows RCMP upon his release from custody on another matter.
He has been charged with second-degree murder.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the major crime unit at 250-380-6211 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
