A 24-year-old former student faces an additional charge — attempted murder — in connection with the June stabbings inside a University of Waterloo, Ont., classroom, police said Friday.
Two students and an instructor were stabbed in a gender-studies class in what police have called “a hate-motivated incident related to gender expression and gender identity.”
Geovanny Villalba-Aleman, a recent graduate, was previously charged with:
Aggravated assault (three counts). Assault with a weapon (four counts). Possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose (two counts). Mischief under $5,000.
The Waterloo Regional Police Service (WRPS) is still investigating the incident, which took place in a gender-studies class in Hagey Hall.
