Teen charged in party slaying

A Hamilton teen is charged in the fatal stabbing of an Oakville teen during a weekend birthday party in Burlington.

According to a Facebook site honouring the 17-year-old victim, a BMX biking enthusiast and a competitive tae kwon do athlete, he was trying to break up a fight at a Prospect St. townhouse around 1 a.m. Saturday when he was knifed.

The victim's name hasn't been released by Halton police.

Neighbours said four youths crashed the birthday party for a 17-year-old girl who lives at the townhouse and a fight erupted when they were asked to leave.

Police added that the fight broke out between two groups of teens who didn't know each other.

A girl and another male teen were stabbed in the melee. The girl was treated and released from hospital, while the other was admitted to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

A suspect was arrested a short time after the stabbings, apparently riding a skateboard, police said.

The outpouring of grief for the slain teen on Facebook sites continued yesterday. Many recalled that he was often at Shell Park, on Lakeshore Rd., near Burloak Rd. in Oakville, performing bicycle stunts.

Bradley Todorovich, 18, is charged with second-degree murder, attempted murder and assault with a weapon.

He's to appear in a Milton court for a bail hearing today.
