At the end of an alleged three-day rampage earlier this month, Sabrina Kauldhar was suddenly the most notorious woman in Canada.
The 30-year-old is accused of being a serial killer, charged with two counts of second-degree murder and one count of first-degree murder in a kill spree across southern Ontario that left three people dead.
But her alleged violent actions don’t stack up with her Toronto landlord, according to CBC News.
“Very nice person. Very quiet,” Thanh Vo told CBC. “She didn’t talk to people. She paid the rent on time.”
For two years before the murders, Kauldhar had been renting a basement room in a Junction-area home. Vo never saw any hint of a violent or aggressive side to the daughter of dentists.
“She never get mad with me,” he said.
But all that changed on Oct. 1 when he checked on his tenant after she failed to respond to knocks on her window and numerous phone calls.
Kauldhar mostly lived alone with her two cats and didn’t appear to have a job. Yet money never seemed to be a problem.
Vo would find five or six empty beer cans outside her room most days. He added that she never appeared drunk and kept her apartment tidy.
In the final months of her tenancy, Kauldhar welcomed a roommate. She was 66-year-old Trinh Thi Vu. Vo said the pair squabbled, mostly about tidiness, but he never suspected anything deeper.
It was Vo who discovered Vu’s bloody body on Oct. 1. Kauldhar has been charged with second-degree murder in her death.
“I feel very upset,” Vo told CBC. “So many nights, I couldn’t sleep.”
Cops say that from Toronto, Kauldhar moved on to Niagara Falls. There, she is accused of stabbing to death Fallsview Casino chef Lance Cunningham, 47, as he walked his dogs in a local park.
The next to die was retired Hamilton teacher, Mario Bilich, 77, who was stabbed outside his social club. Kauldhar is charged with first-degree murder in his death.
Detectives say both slayings were random and that Kauldhar did not know either man. She was arrested on Oct. 3 — the same day Bilich was murdered.
Kauldhar was ordered to undergo a mental health assessment to determine whether she is fit to stand trial.
The Innisfil native was previously convicted of several violent offences across the province. These included assault with a weapon and assaulting a police officer.
Her longest jolt in jail was a 12-day marker for assault in Kitchener. She also received a weapons ban.
