A man with an extensive criminal history has been charged with the second-degree murder of 30-year-old Surrey, B.C., woman Tori Dunn.
Adam Troy Mann, 40, was taken into custody on the night of the killing. He was located while police were en route to the scene with the help of a K9 unit, according to the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT).
Police have released few details about Dunn’s murder other than to say they were called on June 16 to a residence near the 9800-block of 182A Street in Surrey’s Port Kells neighbourhood, where they found Dunn critically injured. She died later in hospital.
Aron Dunn, Tori’s father, told CBC News that her fiancé said Tori was attacked as she was falling asleep on the couch after the couple had returned home from a birthday dinner.
On June 5, 11 days before Dunn was killed, Mann was found guilty of breach of probation.
In January of this year he was charged with possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose and resisting arrest in Vancouver, according to online court records.
In February he was charged with theft of under $5,000 in Richmond.
In April he was arrested and charged with two counts of robbery in Vancouver.
IHIT says Mann is originally from Ontario.
Dozens of people attended a “Justice for Tori” vigil last week.
“My family is outraged and we’re going to fight,” said Aron Dunn at the rally.
“We’re mad. We’re going to get justice for my daughter.”
