A third man has been charged with murder in a slaying 25 years ago at a Laotian community dance in Salt Lake City.

Viengkeo K. Sundara, 48, was charged Tuesday in 3rd District Court with first-degree felony murder in the 1991 stabbing death of 25-year-old Youthaloth Oudanonh.

A $1 million warrant was issued for Sundara's arrest.

In January, prosecutors filed murder charges against Sundara's brother, 47-year-old Vienphet Sundara, and 44-year-ols Hoomphanh Vanvilay.

On May 19, 1991, Oudanonh was stabbed outside the Indian Walk-in Center, 120 W. 1300 South, where the local Laotian community was holding a dance.

A witness testified last month at a preliminary hearing for Vienphet Sundara that Oudanonh had punched Sundara's brother in the face during a confrontation at a wedding party sometime before the dance took place.

Witnesses said Oudanonh was stabbed after he left the building. He then stumbled back to the entrance and collapsed.

A police officer who was providing security at the dance called in a description of the vehicle in which three suspects had fled, and a short time later an officer stopped a vehicle at the 900 South onramp to Interstate 15.

The two Sundara brothers and Vanvilay were in the vehicle.

Vienphet Sundara had blood on his hands, face and clothing and Vanvilay had blood on his clothing, according to court documents. A knife with blood on it was found inside the car.

The charges against Viengkeo Sundara say that he had what appeared to be blood on his shoes. The three were arrested but released for lack of evidence.

The new charges also state that, according to Vanvilay — who has pleaded guilty to second-degree felony manslaughter and agreed to testify against the other two defendants — he and the Sundara brothers confronted Oudanonh outside the dance.

Vanvilay claims Viengkeo Sundara said, "Grab him," as Viengkeo Sundara grabbed one of the victim's arms and Vanvilay grabbed the other arm, charges state.

Vienphet Sundara then pulled out a knife and stabbed Oudanonh. An autopsy showed that he died from a stab wound to the neck.

Prosecutors said the case took years to file because witnesses were reluctant to speak to investigators. But recent DNA tests, not available at the time, show that Oudanonh's DNA was matched to the blood on Sundara's and Vanvilay's clothing and on the knife.
