The lone survivor of a triple stabbing in East Vancouver on Sept. 5 has now died.
Vancouver police said Jinfeng Guan, 50, died on Thursday in hospital where she had been receiving treatment since the stabbing that left Jianghui Deng, 55, and Chunxiu Yin, 54, deceased.
Police were called to an apartment building near Vanness Avenue and Spencer Street in the Joyce-Collingwood area around 2 p.m. on Sept. 5 for reports of a stabbing.
Upon arrival, police found a 50-year-old woman with life-threatening injuries.
Officers then located Deng and Yin and a man with non-life-threatening injuries at a nearby building on Joyce Street and Vanness Avenue.
Police later identified the injured man as a suspect in the double, now triple, homicide.
