Brendon Emmanuel Wilson, 39, was arrested and has been charged with second degree murder after 48-year-old Stanley Bellot was stabbed to death at the Vegas Lounge Bar in Plaza Côte des Neiges this past Aug. 9.

The arrest was made by the SPVM’s Major Crimes Section. The killing was the 25th homicide of the year on the island of Montreal. The suspect appeared Sept. 4 at the Montreal courthouse and was also charged with assault causing bodily harm to Mike Kakha Razmadze, 36. The SPVM also searched a home in Côte St. Luc, but some reports say the suspect actually lives in the borough of St. Laurent.

The SPVM recounted that on Aug. 9, at approximately 2 a.m., “911 received reports of two people injured by a sharp object in a bar located on Côte des Neiges Road, near Barclay Avenue.

“Upon arrival at the scene, police located two victims, a 36-year-old and a 48-year-old man. The first, who suffered lower-body injuries, was taken to hospital and [his injuries are] not life-threatening. The second, who was unconscious and injured in the upper body, was also rushed to hospital but succumbed to his injuries shortly after.

The police are asking anyone with information to contact 911 or a local police station.

“Individuals who prefer to submit new information anonymously and confidentially can do so by contacting Info-Crime Montréal at 514 393-1133 or via the reporting form available on the website infocrimemontreal.ca.” n
