Eight teenage girls who apparently met on social media have been charged with second-degree murder in the stabbing death of a 59-year-old man in Toronto, police said Tuesday.
Investigators allege that the girls assaulted and stabbed the man in the citys downtown core early Sunday morning.
Toronto Police said medics took the man to a hospital, where he died. According to police, the eight girls were arrested near where the attack happened.
Three of the girls are 13 years old, three are 14 and two are 16. Detective Sgt. Terry Browne of the Toronto Police Service Homicide Squad said investigators think the girls were trying to take a bottle of alcohol from the man.
