Police Searching For Suspect Wanted For Stabbing Deaths Of 2 Men Found In Schuylkill River

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Police say they're searching for a man wanted in connection with the grisly murders of two men and the near-fatal stabbing of another.

Back in August, police responded to a person screaming at 2300 Kelly Drive. When they arrived, they found a 23-year-old male suffering from multiple stab wounds.

The man told police he had been kidnapped a few hours earlier by five men and thrown into the back of a van. Once inside the van, the man said, he realized two other victims were already there, bound, and it appeared they had been stabbed numerous times.

The bodies of those two men were later found in the Schuylkill River. Both of the deceased men had suffered multiple stab wounds to their torsos and were pronounced dead at the scene.

Nearly a month later, police say they are searching for 42-year-old Tam Le from East Lycoming Avenue.

Le is wanted for the murders of the two victims found in the Schuylkill, 31-year-old Vu Huynh and his 28-year-old brother, Viet Huynh, both of Paoli.

Anyone with information on Le's whereabouts should call police. There is a $40,000 reward for an arrest and conviction in the case.
