Summary

In the news, homicide investigators are saying little to a frightened public even though no arrest has been made in the killing of a teen who was stabbed on a transit bus in Surrey Tuesday evening. Ethan Bespflug, who had recently turned 17, died in hospital early Wednesday morning. Relatives say he had texted his mother saying he was being followed by a group of youths and was scared, 30 minutes before the attack. RCMP say the stabbing followed an altercation between two people on the bus and was not connected to a recent attack on another bus or the Lower Mainland gang conflict.
