Calgary police have charged a second man in connection with a fatal assault that occurred last month in the southeast community of Ogden. The suspect, Tethloach Wawu, 24, was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for second-degree murder and was located in Langley, British Columbia.
According to police, Wawu was arrested by RCMP officers after attempting to flee from them. He is now charged with one count of second-degree murder and is scheduled to appear in court on Monday.
This development follows the earlier charge against 22-year-old Wedial Buom Met, who was also charged with one count of second-degree murder in relation to the same incident.
Incident Details
