Malik, who was acquitted of murder charges in the 1985 Air India bombing, was shot to death at his business in Surrey, B.C.
Supt. Mandeep Mooker, the officer in charge of IHIT, wouldn’t say whether accused killers Tanner Fox, 21, and Jose Lopez, 23, could have been hired hit men, meaning more suspects in the murder of the one-time Air India bombing suspect.
“Through conventional investigative techniques, and amazing police work, we were able to identify and arrest two suspects,” Mooker said, thanking the Surrey RCMP for providing resources over the past two weeks. Lopez was charged in Kelowna last summer with nine criminal counts, including possession of a firearm with ammunition, pointing a gun, violating a court order to possess firearms and resisting arrest. The matter was sent from provincial court to B.C. Supreme Court last October.
Fox was convicted this past April of resisting or obstructing a peace officer and sentenced to four days in jail. Last fall, he was charged with aggravated assault related to a New Westminster incident. He was released on $500 bail. Surrey RCMP commander Brian Edwards thanked city residents for their assistance in the high-profile case.
