Bail hearing delayed for boy charged in stabbing of younger brother

The matter was adjourned Tuesday to Oct. 22 and a bail hearing has been rescheduled for that date. The accused remains in custody. Lethbridge Police responded to a report on Aug. 27 that a seven-year-old boy had been repeatedly stabbed. A 911 call was made after the victim’s father arrived home and located his son in serious medical distress. Police say the boy’s older brother said an unknown male had entered the home and stabbed the child before fleeing the scene. The victim was transported by EMS to hospital in Lethbridge with critical injuries and later airlifted to the Stollery Children’s Hospital in Edmonton where he is now in stable condition. Police say during a search of the property, a knife, believed to be used in the incident, was recovered from the residence. It’s believed the attack happened when the two boys were alone in the home.
