Crown lawyer Matthew Stacey told the hearing that Malik, a former suspect in the 1985 Air India bombings, was killed in a “public cold-blooded execution” with multiple shots fired in a public place, endangering bystanders in the community. The other man convicted in the case, Tanner Fox, was handed a life sentence without parole for 20 years at his sentencing hearing in January.
Fox and Lopez, who were both in their early 20s at the time of the killing, were originally charged with first-degree murder.In 2005, Malik was acquitted in B.C.
