In a shocking and unprovoked attack, a 55-year-old Indian-origin businessman in Canada died after being assaulted by a stranger he found urinating on his car in Edmonton on 19 October.
Arvi Singh Sagoo was returning to his car with his girlfriend after dinner when they encountered the man.
It is reported that When Sagoo asked, “Hey, what are you doing?”, the stranger replied, “Whatever I want,” before punching him in the head.
Sagoo fell to the ground and lost consciousness. His girlfriend immediately called emergency services, but despite being placed on life support, he succumbed to his injuries five days later.
The accused, identified as Kyle Papin, 40, has been arrested by the Edmonton Police and charged with aggravated assault.
Canadian authorities confirmed that Sagoo and Papin were not known to each other before the incident. The Edmonton Police Homicide Unit is continuing the investigation, and additional charges are expected.
A close friend, Vincent Ram, has launched an online fundraiser to support Sagoo’s two children and help cover funeral and living expenses, describing him as “a very kind and loving father.”
Papin is scheduled to appear in court on 4 November.
