A man has been charged in relation to a double homicide that occurred earlier this month.

At approximately 6:30 p.m., on Sunday, May 4, 2014, police were called for reports of a stabbing at a home in the 6400 block of Penbrooke Drive S.E.

When officers arrived, they found one woman already deceased. A second woman was transported to hospital, where she later died.

A third woman was taken to hospital in non life-threatening condition, where she was treated for her injuries and released.

The suspect fled the scene and was located a short time later and arrested. He was transported to a local hospital suffering from self-inflicted injuries.

The deceased victims were identified as Fahmida Velji-Visram, 29, and Sanjula Devi, 36, both of Calgary.

It was determined each woman died as the result of a stabbing.

In consultation with the Crown Prosecutor’s Office, Hari Pal, 52, of Calgary, is charged with two counts of second-degree murder and one count of aggravated assault.

He was charged yesterday, Thursday, May 15, 2014, while in a local hospital where he is being treated for his injuries. He has been in police custody since the time of his arrest.

The accused was the estranged husband of Devi. Velji-Vamisr was Devi’s friend.

The case will be before the courts on Tuesday, May 20, 2014, at 9 a.m.

As this matter is now before the courts, no further details will be available.
