A man has been arrested for a second time after another man died following a beating in Cote-des-neiges nearly three weeks ago.

A 70-year-old man was attacked in his apartment on Decarie boulevard on July 25.

He never recovered from his injuries, and died last Thursday.

A 27-year-old man was released following initial charges of aggravated assault.

He was arrested again on Thursday evening and now faces a charge of second-degree-murder.
