VANCOUVER — Carol Lee, chairwoman of the Vancouver Chinatown Foundation, says the neighbourhood is all about resilience.
But Lee broke down in tears as she described the impact of a triple stabbing at a festival on Sunday that had been intended to"bring the community together to celebrate the progress" made in a neighbourhood where crime, street disorder and economic decay have been concerns.
The transcript of the oral reasons for judgment shows the judge ordered the man detained at the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital in Coquitlam, B.C., east of Vancouver, before a disposition hearing was to be held by the B.C. Review Board. All of the victims were ethnically Asian, Palmer said, but there was no indication of motive for a crime that"defies logical explanation." Whether it was a hate crime is under investigation.He said the suspect, arrested a few blocks from the scene, has had contact with police before, but Vancouver police have no previous record of him in the city.
"It doesn't matter what your political affiliation is, there is an energy of people really wanting to make this place a better place," said Sim.
