Accompanied by his lawyer, Hassan Isse Ismail turned himself in to police at approximately 5 p.m. yesterday, at EPS Headquarters. Ismail was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for second degree murder in connection with the murder of Ahmed on Nov. 19, 2012.
“The accused turned himself in on his own accord after meeting with a lawyer, and has yet to cooperate with investigators during the interview process,” stated Staff Sgt. Bill Clark, of the EPS Homicide Section.
Ahmed was stabbed to death last November at a downtown residence near 113 Avenue and 94 Street. The victim sustained stab wounds, during an alleged altercation involving several males at the downtown residence, at approximately 8:35 p.m. that evening.
Ismail has been charged with second degree murder.
