Saint John Police have arrested a 28-year-old in connection with a murder investigation.

Evan Louis Tobias was taken into custody on Friday morning after officers searched a north-end residence.

Tobias was wanted on an outstanding warrant.

Thirty-nine-year-old Justin Breau was stabbed in a Charles Street home last August and died in hospital.

Tobias will be the sixth person to be charged in connection with the first-degree murder of Breau.
