Police in Hamilton have arrested a second man believed to be responsible for the grisly stabbing death of a man at his parents’ house.

Jason Green, 39, died after being stabbed in front of his horrified parents at their home in Hamilton’s east end.

Police say two suspects went to the home at about 7 p.m. on Monday looking for Green and were let inside by his parents.

Police say Green was stabbed despite efforts by his parents to intervene and was pronounced dead at Hamilton General Hospital within an hour.

Joshua James Milford, 19, of Hamilton is charged with first-degree murder and appeared in court on Wednesday.

On Friday, Hamilton police charged Bradley Mark, 28, with first-degree murder after he was arrested without incident.

Two other Hamilton residents have been charged with obstruction of justice and drug possession offences.
