Brantford police say a 22-year-old Hamilton man has been arrested in London in connection to a murder at a motel in Brantford on Saturday morning.
Detectives say Shajjad Idrish – who faces nine charges, including murder and two counts of attempted murder after the shooting at the Colborne Street motel – was picked up at a residence near Wellington Street and Grand Avenue on Friday morning.
Investigators say three Brantford men were found suffering from gunshot wounds when police arrived following reports of shots fired around 6:00 a.m. on Feb. 8.
All three men were sent to hospital, with a 42-year-old dying a few hours later.
The two other men, 25 and 26, from Brantford, remain in hospital.
The incident is not believed to be a random act of violence, say police.
