Phu Lam, a 53 year old man of Vietnamese origin, was responsible for the Alberta mass murder in Edmonton recently that shocked the world. According to police there were two infants in the home who were spared, and it is suspected that the infants were related to Phu in some way. The motive behind the mass murder is still not clear and the case is still under investigation by law enforcement. New details have emerged which may help explain why Lam killed 8 people before taking his own life. Phu Lam was depressed according to many who knew him and the two day murder spree ended with Lam taking his own life at the Vietnamese eatery where he was employed.

The mass murder in Alberta was unexpected, but there were some hints that Phu Lam was becoming unhinged and there are reports that he had made threats against family members. It is believed that the first victim was Tien Truong, Lam’s wife. Also murdered were Truong’s 8 year old son, her 3 year old niece, both of her parents and her sister, and also an acquaintance of hers who was at the home at the time. The day following the mass murder Phu also murdered a 37 year old female who was a family friend, but police do not think the female was the primary target. It is not possible to understand what went through the mind of Phu Lam, or why he murdered a 3 year old and an 8 year old but did not harm the two infants in the home aged 8 months and 1 year. After murdering the entire family Lam left the two infants with a relative before the last murder and then his suicide.
