Second-degree murder charges laid in Edmonton Chinatown deaths
A 36-year-old man was charged with two counts of second-degree murder Friday after two men, both in their 60s, were killed in central Edmonton on Wednesday.
Justin Bone is also facing a robbery charge in the beating death of 61-year-old Ban Phuc Hoang.
Police allege that Bone killed a 64-year-old man, who they have not named, at roughly 4 p.m. on Wednesday.
Tony Hai, owner of Albert's Autobody on 106 Avenue and 98 Street, told CTV News Edmonton that a surveillance system captured the unprovoked attack on the man, who was his employee for more than 30 years.
Bone was taken into custody near the scene after Hai said he and a private security guard followed him down the street and called police.
The injured man was taken to hospital but died on Thursday.
While police were investigating in the area, officers discovered a second scene at 105 Avenue and 98 Street. There, at an electronics business, Hoang was located and paramedics pronounced him dead on scene.
An autopsy on the man from the auto-body shop has been scheduled for Tuesday.
Bone was not known to either victim, and police said they were not searching for any more suspects.
Correction
A previous version of this story incorrectly identified Hoang as the man who worked in the auto body shop. CTV News Edmonton apologizes for this error.
