VANCOUVER — Police in Vancouver say the Crown has approved a third count of second-degree murder against a man linked to the deaths of three women last year.

Police say Viet Quy John Ly was arrested on Sept. 5 and had been charged with two counts of second-degree murder in the stabbing deaths of two women who were found inside a residence in East Vancouver.

Officers from the Vancouver Police Department were called to the residential building near Joyce Street and Vanness Avenue on that day, where the bodies of 55-year-old Jianghui Deng and 54-year-old Chunxiu Yin were found.

The third victim, 50-year-old Jinfeng Guan, was found with life-threatening injuries in another residential building about two blocks away from the scene.

Police say Guan received medical treatment in hospital but died from her injuries on Sept. 11.
