Charged with manslaughter

A man and woman have been charged with manslaughter in a Burnaby homicide that took place July 12.

RCMP responded to an assault at a Starbucks on the 6500 block of Hastings Street. The male victim, identified as Michael Page-Vincelli, was taken to hospital, where he later died as a result of his injuries.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has secured manslaughter charges against 40-year-old Lawrence Alvin Sharpe and 35-year-old Oldouz Pournouruz in connection with the death. 

Sharpe and Pournouruz were arrested in Burnaby without incident and will be appearing in Vancouver Provincial Court today.    

"While this investigation is now before the courts, I can confirm that it was not a random act," says Cpl. Frank Jang of IHIT.
