Kauldhar, 30, of Toronto, has been charged with second-degree murder in Vu’s death.
It’s believed the two women knew each other.
Kauldhar has also been charged with first-degree murder for a homicide in Hamilton on Oct. 2 and second-degree murder for a homicide in Niagara on Oct. 3
Cops said on Oct. 2 around 2:49 p.m., they responded to a disturbance in John Allan Park in the Falls and found Fallsview Casino cook Lance Cunningham, 47, suffering from critical injuries.
Despite efforts by firefighters and paramedics, Cunningham, who had been walking his dogs, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Then on Oct. 3, around 12:26 p.m., Hamilton Police responded to a call in a MacNab St. N. parking lot where an unresponsive male, later identified as retired 77-year-old former high school teacher Mario Bilich, was found near his car by friends with significant injuries consistent with a stabbing.
He later died in hospital.
Niagara Regional Police officers arrested Kauldhar Oct. 3 at a Burlington hotel and said the murders of the two males were random.
Niagara police chief Bill Fordy told reporters detectives were checking with colleagues across Ontario to determine if there may be other alleged victims.
“It was a tight time frame and there was a risk she would commit further offences,” Fordy told reporters, adding that 100 investigators were hunting the alleged killer.
“I think by definition, she is a serial killer,” he alleged.
Police are also trying to identify a female seen on security footage on Oct. 1 at the Giant Tiger at 2025 Guelph Line in Burlington buying clothing that Kauldhar later had in her possession at the time of her arrest.
“We’re trying to identify the other female to ensure her safety and confirm what role, if any, she may have played,” said Fordy.
Previously, Kauldhar was charged with assault and breach of probation in 2019 while living in Sault Ste. Marie, although the outcome of those charges is not known.
Fordy said she was known to police without offering further details.
