Canadian mother, daughter identified as victims of fatal Atlantic City, New Jersey stabbings

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. - Authorities have identified a Canadian mother and daughter as the victims in Monday's fatal stabbings in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

The Atlantic County prosecutor's office says 80-year-old Po Lin Wan and 47-year-old Alice Mei See Leung were killed. The women were from the Toronto suburb of Scarborough.

Antoinette Pelzer is charged with murder and is being held on $1.5 million bail. Her aunt says Pelzer has been homeless and mentally ill for years.

An autopsy showed the older woman died from being stabbed in the heart, while her daughter bled to death.

I offer my condolences to the family and friends of the deceased victims who never deserved to die in such a horrific way.

Hopefully, this incident won't be viewed as a common occurrence and won't discourage further tourism to the US.

We have a right leaning talk radio station - 101.5. The morning guy is not that 'bad'. This was the 'talk' today on my way into work.

Nothing could have been done to prevent this. Our state laws do not allow people to be committed against their will.

As well - we've had HUGE budget cutbacks in public services by NJ Governor Christie.

See - this is our chickens coming home to roost. Truthfully - my husband and I are not gamblers - but the crime in Atlantic City is out of control . . . we won't go there. Better to go to Asbury Park beach and support the artists, restaurants, bars, and GLBT community that has made Asbury Park its home.
