Duncan, BC, man charged in fatal stabbing

A 53-year-old man has been arrested and charged with manslaughter in connection with a fatal stabbing on Vancouver Island more than two years ago.

Todd White of Duncan was arrested Thursday and charged in the summer 2022 death of a 33-year-old man in the city.

Court records show White remains in custody.

Mounties responded to the downtown stabbing around 3 a.m. on July 16, 2022.

Officers found the victim with a stab wound near the intersection of Kenneth and Jubilee streets, police said.

The man was taken to hospital where he died from his injuries, prompting the Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit to treat the case as a homicide investigation.

Shortly after the stabbing, police cordoned off a two-block radius around the intersection where the injured man was found so they could collect evidence.

“It appears the victim moved around the downtown area before being located,” BC RCMP spokesperson Dawn Roberts said in a 2022 statement announcing the man’s death.

Police said on Friday that no further information would be released about the incident as it is now before the court.
