The police also indicated that the non-resident individual was charged with offences related to home invasion, is known to police, and had an active arrest warrant out.

Considering that farmer guy got away with shooting the native kid in the face a few years ago, I don't think these charges will stick if it's just "stabbing is fine, but he stabbed too much."

Good thing I'm not an attorney, solicitor, or barrister, but rather some random on the internet commenting on what information is available to us and referencing a previous case where violence was used by someone claiming defense of their home.
