Lawyer told me to lie VANCOUVER - Accused serial killer Charles Kembo remained unruffled under withering cross-examination Monday as the prosecution insisted he was a manipulative liar. In a testy day of tough questioning in BC Supreme Court, Kembo repeated he was no murderer as the Crown hammered his credibility and labelled his explanations unbelievable. |
'RY plan' VANCOUVER - The day Charles Kembo was arrested for two murders, police seized a calendar with notation that said "RY plan" that allegedly was a reference to the latest of four murder victims, a trial heard Wednesday. At the time of Kembo's arrest on July 29, 2005, police had found two days earlier the body of Kembo's stepdaughter, Rita Yeung, 20.
Murder heard on audio bug VANCOUVER - It's alleged that the killing of Kembo's 21-year-old step-daughter, Rita Yeung, in July 2005 occurred at the same time that police were tapping the suspect's phone, had audio-surveillance in his apartment and also a GPS tracking device and audio bug in his vehicle. It was the listening device in Kembo's car that prosecutors say caught the sounds of Yeung's murder. |

Vancouver's other serial killer VANCOUVER - At the same time convicted serial killer Robert Pickton was prowling Vancouver's downtown eastside for victims, another man was doing the same. While Pickton brought sex trade workers in his truck to his Coquitlam farm, this other killer dumped women's bodies up logging roads in the Fraser Valley. And while Pickton sits in a federal prison, this other killer roams free. The bodies of Victoria Younker, Tammy Lee Pipe, and Tracy Olajide were all found in mountains near Mission in the Fraser Valley in 1995. At the time, police noticed similarities in the cases and believed they had a serial killer on their hands. (CTV) |
