UPDATE: A vigil will be held for Mohamed-Aslim Zafis on Saturday at the IMO mosque, where he was fatally stabbed last week.

Police have made an arrest in connection with the murder of a volunteer caretaker at a Rexdale mosque last weekend but they say that it is too soon to say whether the accused may have also had something to do with the fatal stabbing of a sleeping homeless man beneath a bridge on the nearby West Humber Trail earlier this month.

Speaking with reporters at a hastily-called news conference on Friday afternoon, Insp. Hank Idsinga confirmed that a 34-year-old man has now been taken into custody in connection with the death of Zafis but he said that police are still working to determine whether there could be a connection with the earlier homicide, which took place about five kilometres away but shared a number of similarities.

“At this stage of the investigation there does not appear to be any motive and there does not appear to be any known relationship between the accused and our victim,” Idsinga said on Friday, further exacerbating the mystery around the homicide.

The motive was racism, simple.

Shouldve stayed in his own country

Too many of these academy award winners out there...no real enforcement or deterrence of petty crimes that turn into major crimes!
