Eight young females have been charged with second-degree murder in the stabbing death of a 59-year-old Toronto man, Toronto Police Homicide Detective Sergeant Terry Browne said at a news conference on Dec. 21. He said it is believed the girls were trying to get a bottle of alcohol from the victim.

“Eight young girls and most under the age of 16⁠—if this isn’t alarming and shocking to everyone, then we’re all in trouble quite frankly,” Browne told reporters.
