Murder charges have been laid against two Langley, B.C., men in connection with a stabbing death almost two months ago.

Abbotsford resident Kyle Llewelyn Barber, 24, was fatally stabbed outside a home in the 24400 block of Fraser Highway on March 28.

Barber was found in severe medical distress outside the residence and died a short time later in hospital from his injuries.

B.C.'s Integrated Homicide Team says there was a fight inside the home that lead to Barber's death.

Albert Jacob Jackman, 22, is charged with first-degree murder, while 30-year-old Gregory Michael Barrett is facing second-degree murder charges. Both are due to appear in Surrey Provincial Court Monday.

Jackman also faces separate charges in connection to a March 8 attack against a Red Scorpians gang associate where a 27-year-old man was hit repeatedly with a sledgehammer.

Cpl. Dave Carr said Barber's death is connected to drugs.

"We believe at this time of the investigation that this has a link to the drug trade and that the victims and suspects were known to each other," Carr said on March 29.

Police have not linked the attack to Metro Vancouver's ongoing gang war that has seen dozens of shootings - many fatal - since early this year.

The murder charges follow an intense one month investigation.
