A MAN has been charged with murder following a stabbing in Bolton.

Police say Ricardas Jonusas will appear before the town's magistrates this morning in relation to the death of 35-year-old Laurimas Ruzanov.

An investigation was launched after officers were called to a house in Mornington Road, Heaton, just after 11.30pm on Friday.

Emergency treatment was administered to Mr Ruzanov but he is said to have died a short time later from his injuries.

Jonusas, 31, of Balby Road, Doncaster, has remained in custody over the weekend, pending his court appearance.
