Police identify Toronto victim of alleged serial killer
Toronto police have identified the woman who was allegedly killed by a suspected serial killer earlier this month.
In an update on Friday, police said 66-year-old Trinh Thi Vu was found dead in a residence near Keele Street and Dundas Street West on the afternoon of Oct. 1.
She had trauma to her body, but police have not revealed the cause of death.
Vu is the city’s 69th homicide of 2024.
Last week, police arrested and charged 30-year-old Sabrina Kauldhar with second-degree murder in the death of Vu.
She is also facing murder charges in Hamilton and Niagara Falls in connection with the deaths of Lance Cunningham on Oct. 2 and Mario Bilich on Oct. 3.
