CALGARY- The second victim of a stabbing spree that left two women dead and a third injured has been identified.
An autopsy done on Tuesday determined that 36-year-old Sanjula Devi of Calgary died from the stabbing, which happened on Sunday evening in a home along Penbrooke Drive. It’s believed that she was the ex-wife of the suspect, and had been returning to the home to collect some belongings following a domestic dispute.
The other victim was previously identified as 29-year-old of Calgary, who was friends with Devi. On Tuesday, her devoted family spoke out about their loss.
