Domestic Homicide Investigation

Charges are pending as the Calgary Police Service Homicide Unit continues to investigate the deaths of two women in the southeast.

At approximately 6:30 p.m., on Sunday, May 4, 2014, police were called for reports of a stabbing at a home in the 6400 block of Penbrooke Drive S.E.

When officers arrived they found one woman already deceased. A second woman was transported to hospital, where she later died.

A third woman was taken to hospital in non life-threatening condition, where she was treated for her injuries and released.

The suspect fled the scene and was located a short time later and arrested. He was transported to a local hospital suffering from self-inflicted injuries.

An autopsy has been completed on the woman who died in hospital.

She has been identified as Fahmida VELJI-VISRAM, 29, of Calgary.

It was determined she died as a result of a stabbing.

It is believed she was a friend of the other deceased woman. An autopsy on this victim will not be completed until tomorrow, so she will not be identified until that time. However, it is believed she is the estranged wife of the suspect.

Investigators have not yet spoken to the suspect, who remains in hospital in stable condition.

Two counts of second-degree murder and one count of aggravated assault are pending.

Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call police at 403-266-1234 or Crime Stoppers anonymously using any of the following methods:
