Primary culprit among the three suspects on trial for murder in the 2007 execution-style killings of six men in a Surrey high-rise has surprisingly pleaded guilty to a single charge of ‘conspiracy to commit murder’ in the death of the man operating what the Crown calls a “stash house” for drugs in the building’s 15th-floor unit.
The Crown announced to have withdrawn the charges of first-degree murder in the case a short while after 28-year-old Quang Vinh Thang (Michael) Le entered a guilty plea in B.C. Supreme Court on Thursday afternoon. The Crown is asserting that Mr. Le’s Red Scorpions gang got into a conflict with a drug operation run by 21-year-old Corey Lal, i.e. the man renting the apartment. Whereas, the other two innocent bystanders included 22-year-old Christopher Mohan, resident of an apartment from across the hall, and 55-year-old Ed Schellenberg, a fireplace repairman on duty in the Balmoral Tower that day.
Once after the hearing was adjourned, Crown spokesman Neil MacKenzie addressed reporters outside the downtown courtroom, when he stated that “the Crown considers this to be an appropriate resolution in relation to Mr. Le, obviously, or we would not have accepted this disposition, this plea.” He admitted that “the Crown sees the guilty plea today as a positive step,” But Mr. Mohan’s mother was instead infuriated with the plea. She stated that “it’s good to get a guilty plea, but it doesn’t mean, for me, that my pain goes away,” adding that “Christopher isn’t coming back with this guilty plea.”
