Last night, at around 6:45, Brandon police responded to a suspected stabbing.

At the scene, police located an unresponsive 15-year-old male.

Officers performed CPR on the male until the Fire Department arrived, and transported the male to hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

Police arrested another 15-year-old in relation to the stabbing.

The two males knew each other, and police believe the motivation for the stabbing was personal.

The suspect was lodged at Brandon Correctional Centre and will appear in court this afternoon on a charge of 1st-degree murder.

A post mortem on the victim will be conducted today as well.
