Afshin Maleki Ighani had been scheduled to appear in March to consult legal counsel
After being released from Okanagan Correctional Centre, a notorious convicted felon failed to show up for his Penticton court date in March.
The warrant is an endorsed warrant, meaning that he will not be held after being arrested, but can be released with orders to appear in court. Communications for the Crown Prosecution Service confirmed that as of May 28, the warrant is still outstanding. The other charge related to the 2018 assault of a female OCC officer who received “severe bruising” while attempting to return him to his cell.
During the crime spree, it’s alleged that Ighani shot Thomas Szajko, leading to a major police presence on a quiet residential street in the town of Oliver, where Ighani was believed to have been staying in a camper trailer.
