Lloyd Peter Robinson has been charged with second-degree murder in relation to the fatal stabbing of Jonathan James Bulloch.

Robinson, 40, was arrested at a house in Kelowna's Glenmore neighbourhood. Police say he remains in custody.

On the night of May 27, officers responded to reports that a man had been stabbed near the intersection of Davie and Bute streets just before 10 p.m.

They did not immediately provide a motive for the stabbing.
