Toronto police have arrested a man accused in two separate 'unprovoked' killings of a 21-year-old international student and 35-year-old man.
Kartik Vasudev, left, and Elijah Eleazar Mahepath were both fatally shot by 'an apparent stranger' in two separate shootings last week. Police have since arrested one man in connection with both deaths.
Police say Edwin was arrested Sunday evening and had a cache of loaded guns within reach at the time of his arrest. "When, I don't know, but he had an arsenal at home," Ramer said. "Frankly, I believe this might have just been a first step." "We just don't have that information," he said. "But certainly from what we saw, any interaction with the shooter and the victims was very, very quick and brief, and we can't say with certainty whether in fact, he would have been able to see their ethnicity."Based on the "nature of the offences," Browne said police were able to connect the two homicides to one another "very quickly.
The suspect was arrested in this building near Bloor Street West and Spadina Avenue on Sunday evening. Vasudev said goodbye to his father, mother and 16-year-old brother earlier this year to pursue his studies in Canada. He arrived in Toronto on Jan. 5 after years of planning his career and a new life here.
