A 59-year-old man has been charged with murder in connection with a death in Coquitlam earlier this month.

Coquitlam RCMP was called to reports of an assault with a weapon in the 400 block of Midvale Street on the morning of Aug. 1.

Officers found a seriously injured man at the scene. He was taken to hospital where he later died.

Steven Mosdell, 59, was arrested and initially charged with aggravated assault. Those charged were later upgraded to second-degree murder.
