New Delhi: Five days after a 21-year-old Indian boy studying in Canada was shot dead in Toronto, the Police said on Tuesday (April 12, 2022) that they have arrested one person in the connection.
Richard Jonathan Edwin, 39, of Toronto, was arrested for First Degree Murder of Kartik Vasudev, who was a resident of Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh.
According to the Toronto Police Service, investigators allege that Richard Jonathan Edwin discharged a handgun striking Kartik multiple times before fleeing the scene.
It is notable that on April 7, at approximately 5 pm (local time), Toronto Police Service received multiple calls to a shooting at Sherbourne Subway Station. Kartik Vasudev was then located outside the Glen Road entrance suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to hospital where he died as a result of his injuries.
"While we appreciate that this news does nothing to ease the suffering of the victims and their families, particularly those now grieving death, I can report that the suspects for all of these incidents are now in police custody. It is my hope that this fact provides at least a sliver of closure for the families.”" Chief James Ramer told the media after making three arrests in four random attack investigations, including two homicides, an attempted murder, and a stabbing case.
