Man charged with murder after knife fight that left three dead in Montreal

MONTREAL — Montreal police say they have identified the suspects directly involved in a triple murder last week, with one suspect appearing in court today and the other two confirmed among the dead.

Nineteen-year-old Yero Sava Dogo appeared in court in Montreal to face a charge of second-degree murder in the May 21 death of Alexandre Vatamanu Salamanca, who was in his 20s.

A 15-year-old boy and another man in his 20s were killed in an alleyway knife fight that broke out at around 7 p.m. in the city’s Plateau-Mont-Royal neighbourhood.

Police say one of the victims died at the scene while the other two were taken to hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
