A man from Rocky Mountain House has been charged with manslaughter following the stabbing death of a 64-year-old man near the community early Wednesday morning, police said.

RCMP were called to a house west of the town on Highway 752 around 3 a.m. on Wednesday where they found the victim.

A 54-year-man who was arrested at the scene has now been charged, police said on Friday.

On Thursday an autopsy confirmed that the victim died from a stab wound, they added.

Alcohol is believed to have been a factor in the incident, investigators said.

The accused made his first court appearance on Friday.
