Stoney Creek murder suspect who fled to Europe returns to Canada

A 25-year-old woman who is accused of a murder and attempted murder in Stoney Creek has returned to Canada after fleeing the country.

Yun (Lucy) Lu Li and 28-year-old Oliver Karafa were wanted in connection with the shooting death of 39-year-old Tyler Pratt.

Pratt’s body was found in an industrial area on Arvine Ave. near Hilton Dr. on Feb. 28.

A 26-year-old woman was also found on scene suffering from serious injuries. She has since been released from hospital and, police say, continues her recovery.

Hamilton police say Li and Karafa fled to eastern Europe within 24 hours of the incident.

Police say investigators in Hamilton worked with foreign police services and arrested the pair in Budapest, Hungary last month.

Officers flew to Hungary and brought Li back to Canada on Monday. Police say Karafa continues to fight the extradition process.

Li is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday.
