''An Ontario police chief says the Toronto woman arrested by his force and accused of three murders in three days can be considered “a serial killer” after seemingly unrelated deaths were reported in Toronto, Niagara Falls and Hamilton.On Friday, three Ontario police forces announced they had charged a 30-year-old Toronto woman with murder after two men and a woman were found dead over three days in different cities.Police officers in the three southern Ontario cities had all been investigating homicides over the past three days, leading them to conclude the same Toronto woman may be behind the three killings.“I think by definition she is a serial killer — two or more offences,” Niagara Regional Police Chief Bill Fordy told reporters on Friday.Catherine McDonald has more.''
 
"Went down a bad path"

And now we know from the linked Toronto Sun article that she stabbed the two male victims. IMO, it will turn out both suffered multiple stab wounds.

I agree with @No_Stone_Unturned that it is next to impossible to avoid such an attack, especially if the assailant approaches from behind or appears to be simply passing by.

Street Smart is an excellent 1987 movie that starred Christopher Reeve, Morgan Freeman and Kathy Baker. In a scene that I've never forgotten, a person buying coffee at a New York City kiosk is abruptly and quickly stabbed, but it takes nearly a minute for her to realize that it even happened.

well, one good thing, they have obviously located, cleared and established the unknown woman is alive and not another victim.
 
Does anyone think she has other victims not yet found?
I don't. To me, this terrible and quick sequence of killings has all the hallmarks of a spree killing. Something/someone was - probably unwittingly - the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back here and this woman, who seems to have been unraveling for some considerable time, chose to lash out rather than turn on herself.

What makes this case unusual, IMO, is that this spree killer is female and that her rage/schism was sufficient to compel her to use a knife. Stabbing is intimate, no distance between the act and the actor.
 

Just after 2 p.m. that day, Toronto police said they responded to a call for service at a home near Keele and Dundas streets. When they arrived on scene, they found a woman dead with signs of trauma on her body.

Global News has learned the accused was roommates with the Toronto woman who was killed. She is believed to be in her 60’s and has yet to be identified.
 
To give an idea of the distances from Toronto to Niagara and back to Hamilton:

gun crimes aren't common in Canada unless they're a gang member
 

According to police, the 72-hour investigation was set off Tuesday afternoon, when Toronto police were called to a home near Keele Street and Dundas Street West after a woman was found dead inside with undisclosed trauma to her body. The victim, identified through court documents as Trinh Thi Vu, was someone Kauldhar knew, police said.

Kauldhar is charged with second-degree murder in Vu’s and Cunningham’s deaths, and first-degree murder in the death of Bilich.
