Homicide investigators search for motive after deadly stabbing in Surrey

SURREY, B.C. – One man has been killed in a knife attack in Surrey, B.C.

Homicide investigators were called to a suite in an apartment building at about 5:45 Sunday afternoon to find a critically injured man, identified as 35-year-old Jeremy McLellan.

Sgt, Jennifer Pound says McLellan was rushed to hospital but died of stab wounds less than an hour later.
