On Thursday, the Edmonton Police Service said the victim has been identified as Jashandeep Maan. They said an autopsy determined he died of “multiple sharp force injuries” and that he was the victim of a homicide.
Edgar Wesker, who had already been taken into custody shortly after the killing, has now been charged with second-degree murder.

“We have no additional concerns for public safety at this time.”
