Po Lye, 40
MN, Albert Lea
November 19, 2011
Po was a friend of Pah Ber’s 21-year-old son. Po had asked to spend the night. When Pah came home at 6 a.m. after a night of drinking and card playing, he saw Po on the living room sofa. Pah apparently believed that Po wanted to have sex with Pah’s wife.
Pah is reported to have told police that he was being teased by his fellow refugees from Burma about his wife cheating on him. Pah stabbed Po in the stomach and then chased him around the apartment. Pah’s wife, Paw Pree, fled to her bedroom and locked the door. Pah broke in and stabbed her numerous times including several times in her eyes, blinding her.
The couple’s young daughter was in the bed with her mother when Pah stabbed her. A child led Paw Pree out of the apartment when Pah retreated to the kitchen to sharpen the knife.
Pah Ber has been charged with 2nd degree homicide in the stabbing death of Po.
