Saskatoon police have charged a man with second-degree murder in the death of a 29-year-old man this week.

Blaine Moocheweines, 29, appeared in court on the murder charge on Tuesday. He was remanded into custody until his next court appearance on June 12.

Another 29-year-old man is charged with possession of a dangerous weapon, according to a Saskatoon Police Service news release. He also appeared in court on Tuesday.

The men are charged in relation to the stabbing death of Glen Lennie. Police said officers responded to an injured persons report in the 800 block of 22nd Street West at about 3:00 a.m. on Monday and found Lennie.
