SALT LAKE CITY – Police have arrested a man in a Salt Lake City murder case that has been cold for 26 years.
Viengkeo K. Sundara, 49, faces a first-degree felony charge of murder for the stabbing death of Youthalouth Oudanonh during a dance at 120 W 1300 S in Salt Lake City back in 1991.
Sundara allegedly stabbed another man as two others held the victim.
The two others were arrested but Sundara's trail went cold.
