Vancouver-Area Tori Dunn Killing: Adam Troy Mann Convicted of Second-Degree Murder
A jury in New Westminster B.C. Supreme Court found 42-year-old Adam Troy Mann guilty of second-degree murder on Oct 21 for the June 2024 home-invasion stabbing of 30-year-old Tori Dunn in Surrey. Sentencing is set for Oct 29.
Why it matters
The evidence was decisive — Mann's DNA on the knife handle, Dunn's blood on the blade. Mann was on bail facing aggravated assault charges at the time, and the family has turned the case into a "Justice for Tori" bail-reform campaign, reigniting debate over Canada's bail system.
Full report
On Wednesday, Oct 21, 2026, a jury in New Westminster B.C. Supreme Court found 42-year-old Adam Troy Mann guilty of second-degree murder. Around 10 p.m. on June 16, 2024, police responded to a Port Kells home in Surrey and found 30-year-old Tori Dunn stabbed four times, with defensive wounds on her hands and an 18-centimetre-deep abdominal wound. She later died in hospital.
Prosecutors presented Mann's DNA on the knife handle and Dunn's blood on the blade; Mann was arrested near the scene. Mann said he was homeless and a habitual drug user, claiming he found the knife and a phone on the street. He has a criminal history including robbery, weapons offences and parole violations.
Second-degree murder carries an automatic life sentence in Canada; parole eligibility, between 10 and 25 years, will be set by trial judge David M. Layton. A sentencing date is scheduled for Oct 29.
Dunn's family has long questioned why Mann was free on bail while facing aggravated assault charges. Their "Justice for Tori" campaign calls for tighter bail rules, and debate is expected to intensify after the verdict.
