Calgary police say murder-suicide involved man throwing girlfriend off tall building, then jumping
The Calgary Police Service (CPS) has confirmed the two deaths which occurred on the weekend in Spruce Cliff are believed to be a case of murder suicide.
“This event was domestic in nature, however, we believe this was a new relationship and we are still trying to determine the nature of the relationship and the events that led up to this tragic outcome,” said CPS Homicide Unit Staff Sgt. Sean Gregson in a Monday press release.
“Our condolences go out to the family and friends who have been impacted.”
Gregson said the identities of the victims involved are being released to further the investigation as detectives search for people who might have more information about the events leading up to the deaths. Investigators are also seeking assistance from the public to locate the suspect’s vehicle.
The release said police were called to the 0-100 block of Spruce Place SW on Saturday around 7:10 p.m., where several bystanders had located a deceased woman thrown from a high-up balcony. It said a man jumped from an upper-level balcony as first responders were assessing the situation. The man was declared dead on scene.
The female victim has been identified as Calgary resident Joanne Suk-Wah Tse, 69.
The man located deceased at the scene has been identified as Calgary resident De Lin Tang, 61.
The story seems to be that the guy had bound the hands & feet of his new GF then pitched her off the balcony. Cops & EMS arrive, check things and then make their way up to the unit where they think the woman came from. As they were attempting entry the dude pulled a half gainer off the same balcony. I guess he got awfully close to hitting the cops and paramedics.
I'm sure there are pictures of the aftermath but I haven't been able to find them.
