DELTA (NEWS 1130) – The man accused of stabbing a woman and a Delta Police officer a year ago pleaded guilty Monday to three charges, including attempted murder.
The man, whose identity is protected by a publication ban, pleaded guilty to one count each of attempted murder and unlawful confinement in relation to the woman.
He also pleaded guilty to aggravated assault against the officer.
The charges relate to a stabbing incident at Immaculate Conception School on Feb. 20, 2019.
The officer and the woman both suffered serious stab wounds, according to the Delta police.
“For us as a police department, it’s gratifying to see these three guilty pleas,” said Delta Police Chief Neil Dubord.
“These are very serious charges, and reflect the gravity of what occurred a year ago.”
He has since returned to work.
The suspect initially faced 10 charges.
A sentencing hearing is scheduled for May 4 and 5.
