2 bodies were found in an East Vancouver apartment the day of the stabbing
The third victim in a triple stabbing has now died from her injuries, Vancouver police say.
Jinfeng Guan, 50, died in hospital Thursday (Sept. 11), nearly a week after the fatal stabbing on Sept. 5 that had already left two others dead. Police said in a news release Monday that Guan had been receiving medical treatment for her injuries.
Police were called to the Joyce-Collingwood neighbourhood for reports of a stabbing just before 2 p.m. on Sept. 5.
Officers found Guan with life-threatening injuries inside an apartment near Vanness Avenue and Spencer Street. Officers then found two female homicide victims in another building two blocks away, near Joyce Street and Vanness.
Vancouver police are also now publicly identifying the two other victims in the stabbing as Jianghui Deng, 55, and Chunxiu Yin, 54.
Viet Quy John Ly was charged with two counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of Deng and Yin on Sept. 7. Ly, 54, remains in custody.
Police said Crown counsel has been notified of Guan's death, and police are in the process of submitting evidence for consideration of additional charges.
