A second-degree murder charge has been laid in the fatal attack that left a Winnipeg bus driver dead.
Brian Kyle Thomas, 22, was arrested Tuesday following the stabbing death of Winnipeg Transit operator Irvine Fraser, 58. He has also been charged possession of a weapon for dangerous purpose and failure to comply with a probation order.
Fraser pulled up to the last stop of his shift on Tuesday, went to the back of the vehicle to wake someone up, and then chaos progressed to violence, say police and the head of the Winnipeg Transit union.
