A man who was accused of attacking four people with a machete in Edmonton last year has had his charges stayed.
Emergency crews attended a disturbance call on Edmonton’s northside, on 118 avenue and 38 street. When they got there, two women and a man were found with what police call “extensive, life-threatening injuries.”
Another man was found with a serious stab wound in a vehicle close by.
Prince George B.C. resident, Bobby-James Lavallee, was arrested on Aug. 4, 2023, and charged with one count of attempted murder, four counts of aggravated assault and breaches of conditions and probation.
Police say the victims and the accused knew each other and that the attacks were believed to be unprovoked.
On Sept. 27, the Crown opted to stay the charges against Lavallee because key witnesses weren’t available for the preliminary hearing. The Crown said there wasn’t a conviction likely without witnesses.
