Officers found several loaded firearms and ammunition at the home of the accused, police said
Richard Jonathan Edwin, 39, was arrested at his home on Sunday and faces two charges of first-degree murder.
Police Chief James Ramer said officers found several loaded firearms and ammunition at the home of the accused. The police chief said Kartik Vasudev, a 21-year-old international student from India, was killed after an “unprovoked” attack by a “complete stranger” outside a subway station in downtown Toronto on April 7.
Two days later, Elijah Eleazar Mahepath, 35, of Toronto was shot several times near the intersection of Dundas Street East and George Street before he died in hospital, Ramer said. “Our investigators were able to quickly draw a link between the murder of Kartik and that of Elijah,” Ramer told reporters on Tuesday.Article content
