Fatal stabbing arrest made: VPD

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 27 Mar, 2024 10:35 AM
  • Fatal stabbing arrest made: VPD

Vancouver police say they've made an arrest related to a fatal stabbing more than five years ago.

Twenty-six-year-old Abeal Abera was rushed to hospital in June 2018 with a stab wound and died a week later.

At the time, police said they did not believe it was a random attack. 

Police say a 38-year-old man was arrested on Friday and has been charged with manslaughter.
