A 62-year-old man who police said repeatedly stabbed his roommate with a butcher knife over his messy bathroom habits and waste of food, now faces a murder charge after the roommate succumbed to his injuries. Anthony Henry Cannone was initially charged with attempted murder but that charge was refiled as second-degree murder this month after the 62-year-old victim, Charles Burke, died of complications stemming from the Jan. 25 attack.
