A 27-year-old man is facing a charge in connection with a Mount Hope homicide and abduction investigation dating back to 2021.
Hamilton Police say the man was arrested on Wednesday “without incident” and charged with a single count of adult kidnapping.
Faqir Ali was abducted and one of his two sons was killed during an attack at a residence on Glancaster Road near Dickenson Road shortly before 3 a.m. on Sept. 16, 2021.
Police said two men in their 20s — Ali’s sons — were found at the home suffering from gunshot wounds with Hasnain (Nano) Ali succumbing to his injuries in hospital.
Ali had been forcibly taken from the residence in a dark SUV following the shooting and “violently assaulted” before he was found near Beach Boulevard not far from the Burlington Lift Bridge.
Samson Dekamo, 27, was arrested Wednesday and charged with one count of adult kidnapping.
Homicide detectives previously charged three others in connection with Hasnain Ali’s death.
The trio, all from Hamilton, face attempted murder, kidnapping and aggravated assault charges.
Hamilton Police previously reported they believed money was what the assailants were targeting.
The investigation is ongoing.
