Ontario Provincial Police say 44-year-old Sharif Rahman was assaulted in August 2023 outside his restaurant in Owen Sound, about 190 kilometres northwest of Toronto, and died in hospital one week later.

Police had said the suspects fled the country, but were arrested in Scotland in late 2024 and returned to Ontario on Thursday to appear in court Friday.
Investigators have said 24-year-old Robert Evans faces a manslaughter charge.
