The 35-year-old woman charged in relation to a series of stabbing attacks in Vancouver’s Yaletown neighbourhood last October has entered guilty pleas on all the counts she is facing.<\/p>\n

Tamara Hamelin was arrested on Oct. 10 after three people were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. <\/p>\n

Four additional victims also came forward, including another stabbing victim, a person who was reportedly physically assaulted and two others who were not physically injured.<\/p>\n

The victims included five men and two women, ranging in age from 23 to 59. They were attacked near David Lam Park<\/a>, along the Yaletown section of Vancouver’s seawall. <\/p>\n

At the time, police said the assaults were violent and unprovoked.<\/p>\n
