Who are Oliver Karafa and Lucy Lu Li?
Oliver Karafa and Yun (Lucy) Lu Li are both residents of Toronto.
Back in 2014, Karafa was sentenced to five years in prison for impaired driving causing death.
Karafa, who was driving over the legal alcohol limit during the 2012 crash, took responsibility for the death of his passenger, 24-year-old David Chiang.
According to the National Post, Li is the daughter of businesswoman and financial management business executive Hong Wei "Winnie" Liao.
