Eight teenage girls were arrested and charged with murder in Toronto after a man was stabbed to death in what police are calling a ‘swarming’ attack.
A 59-year-old man was stabbed to death in a ‘swarming’ attack by a group of teenagers in downtown Toronto
The attackers were all identified as teenage girls between the ages of 13 and 16. Three of the attackers were 13, another three were 14, and two were 16. ‘We believe this group of 8 young ladies attended the area at least by 10.30pm on the 17th of December,’ Toronto Police Detective Sergeant Terry Browne said. ‘We have information to believe that this same group of 8 young women were involved in an altercation earlier before becoming involved in this altercation.’
‘We don’t know how or why they met on that evening or why the destination was downtown Toronto,’ he added. ‘We don’t know how long they have been acquainted together with each other, but I wouldn’t describe them as a “gang” at this point.’
