I n c l u d e d $ 79 / wk plus taxes $ 79 / wk plus taxes $ 69 / wk plus taxes A u t o $ 59 / wk plus taxes W INNIPEG police have laid attempted- murder charges in two separate stabbings at North End homes over the last two days. The first happened on Valentine's Day evening, when police say an intoxicated teenager and a young man were each assaulted during a party in the 700 block of Magnus Avenue. The 15- year- old victim was physically assaulted first, after which the 19- year- old victim was stabbed seriously in the upper body after the attacker grabbed a knife, police said Sunday. The stabbed man was rushed to hospital in critical condition and remains there in guarded condition, said Const. Jason Michalyshen. A suspect was arrested following a short foot chase around 2: 55 a. m. Saturday near Arlington Street and Magnus, said police. Jonathan Catcheway, 25, faces allegations of attempted murder and assault causing bodily harm, said Michalyshen. He's being held at the Winnipeg Remand Centre. He was pending trial on a drug- related charge at the time of his arrest, said police. Mere hours after Catcheway was arrested, general patrol officers rushed to a home in the 600 block of Pritchard Avenue where two women, 22 and 20, had been arguing. When the older woman tried to leave, she was stopped, beaten and stabbed, police learned upon arrival. The victim managed to get away and was in hospital in stable condition on Sunday, said Michalyshen. Layla Sinclair, 20, is accused of attempted murder, forceable confinement, possession of a weapon and breaching bail conditions. Sinclair and the victim appear to have been friends, said Michalyshen. Crown prosecutors were consulted prior to the laying of the attemptedmurder charges in each of the cases, he said. Crime data recently released by police show attempted murders are one of the only rising violent crime categories in Winnipeg of late. Michalyshen said police and prosecutors look closely at the circumstances of the offence and the type of injuries before electing to charge a suspect with attempted murder, a very difficult charge to prove in court, as it requires proof beyond a reasonable doubt of intent to murder someone. " What might have been said by the suspect or accused in relation to the assault itself" also plays a role when justice officials elect to lay the charge. The offence carries with it a maximum sentence of life in prison. A mandatory minimum punishment of five years behind bars is imposed for a first offence if a gun was used in a proven attempted- murder case. james. turner@ freepress. mb. ca Attempted- murder charge in North End stabbings By James Turner Hospitalized in invasion A 27- year- old man was rushed to hospital in critical condition - later upgraded to stable - following a home invasion and assault early Sunday morning. At approximately 1: 45 a. m., a lone male pushed his way into a residential suite on the 1000 block of Bairdmore Boulevard after the unknown intruder had knocked on the door. The suspect shoved his way into the suite, which was occupied by a man and woman. The intruder began assaulting the male. The female occupant attempted to intervene, biting the suspect on the right hand. The suspect fled after robbing the couple of a cellphone. Police report the suspect is described as Caucasian, 20 to 30 years old, 6- 0 with a medium build and very short light brown hair. Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact investigators at 204- 986- 2877 or Crime Stoppers at 204- 786- TIPS ( 8477). Two sought in robbery TWO male suspects are being sought in connection with the robbery of a gas bar in the 300 block of Wardlaw Avenue Sunday morning. The suspects confronted an 18- year- old male employee. One was armed with a weapon and forced the employee to the ground. The business was robbed of an undisclosed amount of cash and cigarettes. Police are looking for two Caucasian men in their mid- 30s, 6- 2 and 185 pounds. Arrest in cabbie theft A 39- year- old man has been arrested in connection with the robbery of a taxi cab driver early Monday morning near Main Street and Redwood Avenue. The man is facing several charges, including robbery and carrying a concealed weapon and two counts of possessing a weapon. The incident occurred at approximately 1: 40 a. m. when the driver was confronted by the armed male passenger, who made off with an undisclosed amount of cash. Patrol and canine unit members responded and within a short time the suspect was located in the 300 block of Redwood Avenue. He remains in custody. - staff POLICE Briefs Separate incidents spanning two days B _ 03_ Feb- 18- 14_ FP_ 01. indd B3 2/ 17/ 14 9: 44: 03 PM ;
