Man charged in White Rock stabbing death ordered to stand trial<\/p>\n

Published 7:30 am Friday, May 29, 2026<\/p>\n

The Surrey man charged in connection with the April 2024 stabbing death of 26-year-old Kulwinder Singh Sohi in White Rock has been ordered to stand trial in New Westminster Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

Dimitri Nelson Hyacinth was charged with second-degree murder on May 3, 2024, after Sohi was stabbed on White Rock\u2019s waterfront promenade on the night of April 23, 2024.<\/p>\n

The incident was the second of two stabbings in the city that week.<\/p>\n

Hyacinth is also facing aggravated assault charges in connection with a stabbing attack on Jatinder Singh, 28, that occurred on April 21, 2024, also on the seaside city\u2019s promenade.<\/p>\n

Singh, who had only been in Canada for a few months, survived the attack, with a serious neck wound that was treated in hospital.<\/p>\n

The stabbing attacks, which happened within days of each other, had the waterfront community on edge<\/a> prior to a suspect being arrested and charged.<\/p>\n

The accused waived his right to a preliminary inquiry Thursday (May 28) in Surrey Provincial Court, and the court ordered him to stand trial in New Westminster Supreme Court on both files, an email from BC Prosecution Service confirmed.<\/p>\n

Hyacinth\u2019s next appearance is on Thursday, June 25 in New Westminster to fix trial dates, but \u201cthis may not happen at the next court appearance,\u201d the email noted.<\/p>\n
