New Baby One Among Several Heirs Of Murdered Vancouver Millionaire, Says Family's Lawyer

The Canadian Press, 29 Jul, 2015 12:18 PM
    VANCOUVER — The family of a murdered West Vancouver millionaire says a baby born to his former lover isn't his only possible heir.
     
    A lawyer representing the brother and mother of Gang Yuan says the businessman actually fathered several children, meaning his estimated $50-million estate will be divvied up between his children.
     
    Chris Johnson says those children — some living in Vancouver and others living in China — have already been DNA tested and paternity tests proved Gang was their dad.
     
    B.C. Supreme Court recently ordered testing be conducted on the child of a Chinese woman living in the United States who claims in court documents that her daughter was the man's only offspring.
     
    Johnson says he doesn't understand Xuan Yang's sole claim, saying he believes the mother knows full well her deceased lover bore other children from speaking to his family.
     
    Gang's body was found chopped into more than 100 pieces in early May and a male relative is charged with second-degree murder.
