3 young offenders enter guilty pleas in relation to a stabbing that occurred outside a party in Burnaby last October

Darpan News Desk Burnaby RCMP, 19 Jul, 2022 09:53 AM
  • 3 young offenders enter guilty pleas in relation to a stabbing that occurred outside a party in Burnaby last October

Three youth offenders have entered guilty pleas in connection to a stabbing that occurred outside a party on October 23, 2021 in North Burnaby.

The 15-year-old male victim was stabbed in the torso shortly after arriving to a residential house party. The victim was swarmed by the three male youth suspects who were not friends with him. The suspects fled the area prior to police arriving but were quickly identified by police.

The victim has since recovered from his serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.

We want the public, and specifically youth, to know that we take these swarming assaults seriously. said Corporal Alexa Hodgins of the Burnaby RCMP, Our officers worked tirelessly to identify and bring the offenders to justice. These types of attacks are not acceptable in our community

In this incident, Burnaby RCMP is not aware of any social media video posts of the assault, however the suspects were quickly identified.

In early July, two of the three youth suspects received sentencing which included charges for aggravated assault and assault with a weapon. The third offender has entered a guilty plea but is awaiting sentencing.
