Saskatoon police say a suspicious death on Aug. 16 in a house on the 200 block of Avenue I S. was a homicide and a suspect is in custody.

Norman Cardinal appeared by phone Monday morning in provincial court. He is charged with second-degree murder in the death of Jordan Lee Morin.

This is the city's 12th homicide this year.

Few details have been released, beyond that officers were called to a bungalow on the block early Friday morning and removed a body on a gurney.

It's not first violent death on this block this year.

In February, Jason Horse was identified as the city's third homicide victim. The 48-year-old was killed during a home invasion and three men are now charged with first-degree murder.

Cardinal is scheduled to return to court Wednesday.
