One week ago Matthew de Grood, 22, was arrested and charged after five people were stabbed to death at a house party to celebrate the end of the school year. Jordan Segura, Kaiti Perras and Josh Hunter were stabbed to death along with Zackariah Rathwell and Lawrence Hong on April 15.

De Grood has been charged with five counts of first degree murder and it’s still unclear what provoked the attack. Three funerals were held in Calgary for Hunter, Perras and Segura, a service for Rathwell will be held Tuesday and Hong on Wednesday.
