White Rock stabbings: Same suspect confirmed in 2 attacks as charge laid – BC [Video]

The man who was arrested in connection with a fatal stabbing in White Rock last week has now been charged in another attack that happened two days earlier.

Dimitri Nelson Hyacinth, 27, has been charged with aggravated assault in the case of Jatinder Singh, who was stabbed in the neck as he sat on a bench with his wife on April 21.

Singh survived but faces a long recovery.

Also, Hyacinth was arrested on April 29 in Surrey in connection with the homicide of Kulwinder Singh Sohi, also on the White Rock Promenade.

He died at the scene.

A meeting on community safety is set to be held in White Rock at the community centre on Tuesday between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. for residents to ask questions from RCMP and city officials.

Sohi, a 26-year-old Red Seal plumber, was stabbed just 48 hours after another man was stabbed in the neck in the same part of White Rock.
