Anchorage man charged in stabbing death

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — An Anchorage man was charged Thursday on two murder counts after police found a dead body inside his midtown apartment.

Kelly Frederick, 33, has been charged with first- and second-degree murder.

An arraignment was scheduled Thursday afternoon.

Online court records didn’t list an attorney for Frederick, who is being held without bail.

Police say there were called to an apartment late Wednesday night, where they found two people holding Frederick on the ground.

Officials say in a release that officers went inside Frederick’s apartment and found a body with multiple stab wounds.

Police said the identity of the person killed was not known. The body has been sent to the medical examiner’s office for fingerprint identification. Police didn’t say whether the person killed was male or female.

Witnesses told officers they heard an altercation in the apartment and called authorities when they confronted Frederick, who they said had blood on his hands.
