Suspect charged in Langley, B.C., attack that left woman with ‘severe burns,' RCMP say
Days after an alarming attack in Langley, B.C., that left a woman hospitalized with 'severe burns,' a suspect has been arrested and charged. Langley RCMP previously said the 37-year-old victim appeared to have been 'deliberately exposed to an unknown substance' in a targeted assault. Authorities said they found the woman in distress near 203 Street and Fraser Highway last Saturday, but have since determined the attack happened blocks away, at 204 Street and Logan Avenue. Langley RCMP arrested Samantha Elizabeth Florence Hall, 25, in connection with the case on Tuesday. 'Officers from our Serious Crime Unit worked tirelessly for the past several days to advance this investigation,' said Sgt. Zynal Sharoom, in a statement. No other details on the incident have been shared with the public. Investigators are still piecing together the circumstances leading up to the attack, Sharoom said. Hall has been charged with one count of aggravated assault, and remains in custody pending her next court appearance. Authorities asked any witnesses who haven't already spoken with police to call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.
