A British Columbia woman accused of the grisly murder of her twin sister has been found not criminally responsible due to mental illness.
The partial remains of 36-year-old Ivy Chen were found in Coquitlam, B.C.’s Minnekhada Park in March 2020. RCMP officers had been called to reports of a suspicious fire around 6 a.m. on March 10.
Her sister, Tracy Chen was charged with first-degree murder and committing an indignity to a dead body. Evidence indicates Tracy stabbed her sister to death in the apartment they shared and then tried to dissolve her remains in acid. When that didn’t work, she put them in cooking pots and took them to the park and set them on fire.
As Kamil Karamali reports, a court heard Thursday that Tracy was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia and heard voices in her head, telling her to kill her sister.
