WILKES-BARRE -- A homeless man charged with the deadly stabbing of the man who took him in in Wilkes-Barre has pleaded guilty to third degree murder.

Court papers show Matthew Vantine admitted to killing Bryan Hogan in January of 2015 at the victim's apartment at Interfaith Heights.

Prosecutors believe Hogan and Vantine were drinking and got into an argument which led to Vantine stabbing Hogan in the chest.

Vantine is scheduled to be sentenced in February.
