The Ottawa police Major Crime Section confirmed Saturday night that the deaths in Beaconwood Village on Thursday morning that left three children without parents were a murder-suicide.
Police identified Alem Haile, 51, as the victim of Ottawa’s seventh homicide of 2014.
The body of Yassin Mender, 60, the husband of the victim, was also found at the scene, but foul play was not suspected in his death.
Police and paramedics were called to a townhouse at 2022 Beaconwood Dr. in a Minto-run rental neighbourhood Thursday around 6:30 a.m. after 16-year-old Ben Mender discovered his parents’ bodies in the family home. His mother had been stabbed to death and the person responsible, his father, was found hanging.
Ben was in his bedroom when his father, Yassin, began the attack against his youngest son. The teen, after a struggle in which he was cut, managed to lock his father out of his room. He remained in his room for about an hour only to emerge to find the body of his mother in the basement. She had been stabbed in the back several times. Yassin Mender had hanged himself while his son was locked away in his bedroom.
The couple have two other children — daughter Tesnella Mender, who neighbours say wasn’t living at the home but visited frequently, and son Saeyob Mender, who studied at Carleton University and was an avid runner.
