Jun. 7—MANCHESTER — A Hartford man was charged with murder early today in connection with a fatal stabbing over the weekend, police said.

Police arrested the man, Garry Ramsey, 56, and charged him with murder and carrying a dangerous weapon.

He is being held on $1 million bond and is to appear in Manchester Superior Court today.

According to information from Manchester Police Lt. Ryan Shea, police were dispatched to 21 Carver Lane shortly before noon on Saturday on reports of a stabbing.

Police said Robert Callahan, 68, of Manchester, had a stab wound to his chest. Officers immediately began medical aid, Shea said, and emergency personnel transported Callahan to Hartford Hospital. He later died due to his injuries.

Ramsey was reported to have fled from the scene in a vehicle, and police issued a warrant for his arrest after identifying him as the suspect. Ramsey turned himself in to the Manchester Police Department today.

Neighbors of the area the stabbing took place said Saturday that the area, which is home to elderly and disabled residents, is generally safe. Shea said at the time that the stabbing was an isolated incident.

Ontario to loosen COVID-19 restrictions starting June 11, ahead of schedule
(Reuters) -Ontario will loosen COVID-19 restrictions starting June 11, three days ahead of schedule, Premier Doug Ford announced on Monday, as infection rates continue to drift lower after a punishing third wave while vaccinations pick up pace. Although cases have been falling in recent weeks, experts recommended keeping restrictions in place until June 14 to prevent a fourth wave. The province hit key metrics ahead of schedule, hence the earlier reopening date, the statement from the premier's office said, including a vaccination rate of 60% - Ontario currently has 72% of eligible adults who have received at least one vaccine dose.
