One Dead After an Overnight Stabbing in Surrey - Deceased Identified
A Surrey, B.C., man who died March 17 in what police said appeared to be an attempted home invasion was targeted because he was a member of the white supremacist group Blood and Honour, one of his associates says.
Police were called about 11 p.m. PT to a residence in the Fraser Heights section of Surrey where they found evidence of a violent struggle and a 36-year-old man with head injuries.
Officers followed a blood trail from that home and found the body of Jan Korinth, 26, two residences away. He had been stabbed to death.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team is investigating a fatal stabbing in Surrey, B.C., Saturday night.
It's still unclear whether a Filipino man from New Westminster – sleeping on a white couch at Commercial and 5th just before midnight on Oct. 10, 2009 – woke up when three neo-Nazis poured flammable liquid on him, or after they lit him on fire. The 26-year-old man escaped with burn injuries, tearing his flaming shirt off as he ran.
Nearly 50 people rallied outside the provincial courthouse this morning to protest members of the white supremacist group Blood and Honour, who are on trial for a string of assaults, including setting a Filipino man on fire --then beating a black man who came to the rescue, in 2009.
Human rights groups are raising alarms about Blood and Honour and other racist groups active in B.C. Photo from Anti-Racist Canada.
