A resident of the Strathcona Hotel shelter knew the man as Kenny and had heard he was originally from Hong Kong
Katy Chiappetta, a resident of a shelter in downtown Toronto, says people need to know more about the life of the 59-year-old man she watched fatally injured from stab wounds in the city’s core on Saturday night.
Trouble erupted Saturday around midnight outside the Strathcona, which is near Toronto’s Royal York Hotel and Union Station, the city’s busiest transit hub. Ms. Chiappetta said she was outside when she heard a high-pitched scream from a group of “very young” girls. She says she glanced at them arguing – and running away.
She says she locked eyes with him as he was put onto a stretcher and taken into the vehicle. “He turned very white in his face. I knew then it went from A to B, it’s worse. He was still looking at me.” The accused teenagers’ identities are also being withheld, which is a standard condition of the Youth Criminal Justice Act. While many details about the crime remain unknown, it has generated headlines around the world given the young ages of the accused female teenagers.
