Chinese Mothers win secrecy for murdered West Vancouver millionaire's estate

September 15, 2015

Five women whose children could be heirs to a slain West Vancouver millionaire’s fortune have won their legal bid for secrecy.

The families all fighting for a piece of Gang Yuan’s $50-million state, but have said they wouldn’t be interested in the money if their names were revealed because of the potential for harassment.
On Friday, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Terence Schultes approved secrecy for the identities of the women and families, as well as a sealing order on court documents in the case.
Yuan left no will behind when he was chopped by Triads [their weapon of choice] into more than 100 pieces in early May.
Each child has been confirmed as Yuan’s offspring through DNA testing, according to affidavits filed in court, and he financially supported some if not all of them. The oldest is seven years old.
Li Zhao, who is married to Yuan’s cousin, is charged with second-degree murder in the slaying.
