The trial of two teenage girls accused of second-degree murder in the swarming death of a homeless man, Kenneth Lee, is set to begin in Toronto. The attack, which occurred in December 2022, involved a group of girls allegedly stabbing the 59-year-old man. Following the incident, eight girls were arrested, with four pleading guilty to lesser charges and receiving probation sentences. As the legal proceedings continue, the remaining two accused face a jury trial in May, although none can be identified due to their age at the time.
