A 42-year-old Calgary man has been charged with first-degree murder after stabbing a doctor he believed was having an affair with his wife. Police said Friday they’d received one report of a domestic incident between the accused and his wife in the past.
“It would appear the accused wanted to confront the doctor in relation to his perception of some type of relationship between the accused’s wife,” Insp. Don Coleman said Friday.

Jin Qing Huang is facing charges in the killing of Dr. Tiejun Huang, 51. Police said although the two share the same last name, they are not believed to be related.
Police believe the attacker brought a knife to the clinic. They said he knew his wife was at the clinic for a scheduled appointment at the time of the stabbing.
Tiejun Huang was the owner and acupuncturist at Perpetual Wellness Chinese Centre where the stabbing occurred.

At around 2:30 p.m., police received a report that someone entered the medical clinic at 1623 Centre Street N.W. with a knife, and stabbed multiple people.
