A Middlesex Township man has been charged with criminal homicide after police say he stabbed and killed a man in his home Sunday.

Mark Jante, 58, is charged with felony criminal homicide and felony aggravated assault.

Around 8:10 p.m. Sunday, Jante called 911 to report that he had stabbed his “buddy” inside a home in the first block of Wolf Bridge Road and was in need of medical help, according to an affidavit of probable cause filed by the Cumberland County District Attorney’s Office.

When Middlesex Township Police arrived, they found Jante with blood on him and smelling of alcohol, police said.

The victim was found in a bedroom of the home bleeding from his back, according to police.

The victim was flown to Penn State Hershey Medical Center where he died as a result of his wounds, according to the affidavit.

When questioned, Jante said he had been drinking all day with the victim and again admitted to stabbing the man, police said.

Court records did not provide a reason why Jante stabbed him.

He is being held in Cumberland County Prison without bail, according to court records.
