CALGARY – The fifth and final funeral for the victims killed a horrific mass murder last week will be held on Wednesday.
Zackariah Rathwell, 21, Jordan Segura, 22, Josh Hunter, 23, Kaitlin Perras, 23, and Lawrence Hong, 27, were stabbed to death at a house party on April 15th.
The service for Lawrence Hong will be held at the Centre Street Church at 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
The young man was set to graduate from the University of Calgary this year with a degree in Urban Studies.
To help students attend his memorial, dozens of Calgary Transit employees pooled their money to pay for a special charter bus to travel from the University of Calgary to the church and back.
The special route is called 430, in honour of Hong’s birthday, which was April 30th.
Friends describe him as funny and friendly, and say he was a regular volunteer at the Calgary Folk Music Festival.
Josh Hunter, Jordan Segura and Kaitlin Perras were laid to rest on Monday, and a memorial for Zackariah Rathwell was held on Tuesday.
The man accused in the murders, 22-year-old Matthew de Grood, has been ordered to undergo a 30-day assessment to determine whether he is mentally fit to stand trial.
