He worked at the restaurant as a part-time maintenance man.
Police have said the suspect has a criminal record stretching back to 1987, and that the 9-mm handgun used in the killings was reported stolen from Surrey, B.C., in 2006.
Lam had recently returned from a trip to Vietnam that was cut abruptly short, according to a woman who lives near the house and who did not want to be named.
The woman said her children often played with the children in Lam’s home, and that he told her he was going to Vietnam for six months but came back after being gone for just two months. She said she saw him walking to a shopping centre around Dec. 19.
“I was asking him why he came back. He said he came for the divorce paper,” said the neighbour. She said he had been staying at the home infrequently before then and that the co-owner, Tien Truong, was his wife.
Edmonton police Chief Rod Knecht called the killings “planned and deliberate” and “an extreme case of domestic violence.”
