Toronto police have identified both the victim and the man arrested in the city’s latest homicide investigation.
According to police, 28-year-old Inderpreet Singh Manget of Toronto was found dead in an apartment unit Thursday.
In a statement issued by the service Saturday afternoon, police were called shortly after 2 p.m. on Thu Dec. 9, for a suspicious incident call at an apartment building near Redpath and Eglinton avenues.
When officers tried to enter the unit, a man inside refused to allow them access, police said.
When officers were able to gain entry they found Manget’s body, police added.
An autopsy on Friday concluded the death was a homicide, the statement read.
Police have since arrested 30-year-old Toronto resident Theodore Ramsey. He has been charged with second-degree murder.
Ramsey has been scheduled to appear in court on Thu Dec. 23 at 9 a.m.
Investigators are asking anyone with information to contact police at 416-808-7400 or Crime Stoppers at 416-222-TIPS.
This is the city’s 80th homicide of the year.
