Brampton - Peel Regional Police said it was a husband and wife who were stabbed in a Brampton strip mall on Wednesday afternoon.
Nazifa Shahghasy, a 52-year-old woman from Brampton and her husband, Rahimullah Shahghasy, 53, were fatally stabbed at the plaza on Red Maple Drive, which is in the McLaughlin Road and Williams Parkway area.
Investigators have said the incident was completely random and unprovoked -- the suspect attacked the female as she headed back to the car. Her husband was at the grocery store. The woman's husband tried to intervene once he saw his wife being attacked, he was then fatally stabbed.
Both victims succumbed to their injuries and leave behind a 21-year-old son and 19-year-old daughter.
Once police arrived on scene, the suspect started stabbing himself in the neck, according to witnesses.
The Special Investigations Unit said the 28-year-old suspect was hit with a Taser by an arresting officer.
One store owner in the plaza said his wife heard screaming and when she looked out she saw a woman collapsed in the parking lot and a man stabbing himself.
The woman's body laid covered with a yellow blanket in the parking lot of the plaza for several hours as police investigated.
