The family of a Toronto man who was killed in a “swarming” attack involving eight teenage girls last December is calling for changes to the youth criminal justice system.

Ken Lee, 59, was allegedly stabbed by the girls in downtown Toronto near the York Street and University Avenue area on Dec. 18, 2022. The stabbing ensued after the girls reportedly tried to take a bottle of alcohol from the victim and his friend. Toronto police previously said the man died after being transferred to hospital.
