A Canadian citizen was stabbed to death on Friday evening in the Chilean port of Valparaiso.
The murder happened while he was strolling with his family in one of the city’s hillside tourist areas.
According to Chilean media, the victim was killed when he tried to resist the theft of his backpack by two assailants who fled the scene.
The man and his family resides in Chile’s capital Santiago, which is located about 100 kilometres (62 miles) from the touristic port.
