Ottawa police have identified the man charged with fatally stabbing his mother and attempting to murder his grandmother in Barrhaven last week.<\/p>\n

The service’s homicide unit confirmed on Monday that Party Shah, 30, has been charged with second-degree murder and attempted murder. <\/p>\n

The fatal victim has been identified as 60-year-old Farnaz Farahani.<\/p>\n

One of the police units investigating previously told CBC News that Farahani woman was Shah’s mother and that the injured woman is Shah’s grandmother.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Police did not previously release the names because they were still notifying other family members. <\/p>\n

On April 23, police were called to Ashbourne Crescent, a residential street near the intersection of Cambrian Road and Longfields Drive, at around 9:45 p.m.<\/p>\n

Investigators say the women were both stabbed and that Shah then went to the hospital in Hawkesbury and said he’d killed two people. <\/p>\n

Shah appeared in court on Monday and will be back in court next Monday. <\/p>\n

Farahani’s death is Ottawa’s fifth homicide this year. Police have also classified it as a femicide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Listen to this article Estimated 1 minute The audio version of this article is generated by AI-based technology.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":632737,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,41,39,42,40],"class_list":["post-632736","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/632736","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=632736"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/632736\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/632737"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=632736"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=632736"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=632736"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
