SURREY - Police aren't saying if the fatal stabbing of a woman at Surrey's Sach di Awaaz newspaper in Newton this morning was random or targeted.
Surrey RCMP arrested a man at the scene of the crime, in the 8100-block of 128th Street, after receiving an emergency 911 call at about 11:30 a.m. Thursday.
"He's refusing to provide his identification. He's not providing us with much information," said Sgt. Jennifer Pound, spokeswoman for the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team. The suspect is expected to appear in Surrey provincial court Friday morning.
"He will be attending court with charges of homicide."
Police haven't released names but newspaper reports are identifying the deceased as Ravinder Bhangu, an administrative assistant at the weekly English/Punjabi newspaper.
Pound said a man was injured while trying to help the woman. "He reacted on instinct, I'm guessing."
"He sustained minimal injuries - I believe he had some cuts and scratches. He did receive stitches," Pound said. He has since been released from hospital.
The deceased suffered multiple stab wounds.
Pound wouldn't say if a weapon was recovered from scene.
