A man has pleaded guilty to manslaughter in connection with the Coquitlam stabbing death of 66-year-old Terry Miller almost four years ago.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) says the case goes back to February 2022, when a man was attacked near a complex on Schoolhouse Avenue north of Lougheed Highway.

He was taken to the hospital but later succumbed to his injuries.
Investigators identified Jeffrey Stevens as a suspect in the homicide and arrested him nearly one year later. The BC Prosecution Service charged him with one count of second-degree murder.
In an update Thursday, IHIT says Stevens, now 24 years old, recently pleaded guilty to manslaughter in a B.C. court.
Stevens is expected to return to court for sentencing on March 12, 2026.
