RCMP say a man who just turned 18 has been charged with manslaughter in the death of another teen in Duncan a year ago.

Police say they found a 17 year old boy suffering from stab wounds after they were called to a home at about 1:00 am on March 1st last year.

They say the victim was taken to hospital where he later died of his injuries.
