The son of murdered Mississauga spa owner Ming-Chien “Teresa” Hsin has been charged in connection with her death.

Peel Region police charged Eric Lu, 25, with first-degree murder Wednesday. The Toronto resident is now the third person facing a charge of first-degree murder in connection with Hsin’s April killing.

She was the founder and general manager of Relaxology Wellness Centre, a spa chain with locations across the GTA. Lu worked for the company since 2009, and his Facebook profile listed him Wednesday as the company’s chief executive officer.

Mark Dookhram, 21, was charged Monday. Justine Ordonio, 25, was charged Tuesday.

Police found 59-year-old Hsin’s body on the afternoon of April 10 in her black BMW, parked on Robert Speck Parkway, near Hurontario St. in Mississauga.

Hsin survived a near-fatal knife attack just five months before.

In what Hsin believed was a robbery gone wrong, an assailant approached her from behind in the parking garage of her townhouse complex near Hurontario St. and Rathburn Rd. The person stabbed Hsin several times before fleeing the scene.

Lu was the one who called 911 to report that attack.

Peel communications officers deferred all questions regarding Lu’s arrest until a press conference scheduled for 11 a.m. Thursday.
