CALGARY – Police have laid charges against a total of three men in connection to the murder of Calgary businessman Maqsood Ahmed.
Ahmed was leaving his business with cash and receipts on Wednesday, October 8, 2014 when he was robbed and stabbed to death.
Last month, police issued a warrant for the arrest of 19-year-old Jean Bertrand Havyarimana in connection to the homicide.
Havyarimana turned himself in to police on Monday, and is now charged with robbery and second-degree murder.
“He was a support role in the robbery and in carrying out the robbery,” said Staff Sgt. Colin Chisholm during a Tuesday afternoon press conference. “We never did get any idea of specifically what did occur with the money.”

Forest, 21, was officially charged with robbery, accessory after the fact to robbery, and accessory after the fact to murder on Wednesday night.
