RCMP are looking for two suspects after a man was stabbed in a car at a Moncton motel Tuesday.

The Major Crimes Unit is investigating the death of the 47 year old man, whose name has not been released yet, on Elmwood Avenue.

RCMP have provided images from a surveillance camera of two people they want to question who were seen leaving the area in a black Buick Allure. They aren’t speculating on a motive for the homicide yet.  They are also asking anyone else with information to call Codiac RCMP or Crimestoppers.

Several groups are urging the province to ban blood plasma sales.

Canadian Plasma Resources, based in Ontario, says it’s almost ready to open its Moncton clinic where it will be paying for blood. It still needs federal approval.

The New Brunswick Health Coalition and various unions say that’ll make it a direct competitor to the Canadian Blood Services Agency which is non-profit…and take blood away from the public system.

Provincial Health Minister Victor Boudreau has said the province does not intend to prevent the clinic from opening.
