A 46-year-old man from the RM of Ste. Anne has been charged with manslaughter following a fatal altercation earlier this month.

Manitoba RCMP Major Crime Services says the investigation stems from an incident on May 3 involving the death of 49-year-old Cameron Huley.

Police say officers determined there had been a social gathering outside a residence in the RM of Ste. Anne when an altercation broke out among people attending.

During the incident, Huley suffered an injury and later died in hospital.

The investigation continues involving Steinbach RCMP and RCMP Major Crime Services.
