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!

Keep him in jail do not let him out on bail. Terrible

Violent crime in Vancouver tent city neighbourhood on the rise, police sayStrathcona Park is now the site of what some have estimated to be the largest encampment in the country, with several hundred tents, a camp kitchen and volunteers who help with food and laundry No surprise. The so called “advocates” prefer tent cities and exploitation over helping the homeless find housing and the supports to deal with whatever addiction or mental heath issues they may have They have been taking advantage of the homeless like this for decades Same problem in Ottawa. Lots of empty office buildings they could use. It's amazing how big of an industry the for 'advocates ' has become. Of course they don't want to actually solve to issues , it would put them out of work. We as a nation should be ashamed of ourselves as a nation for allowing our this to happen to Canadians

'Nastiest and most disgusting': Dozens of police officers in Germany suspended for neo-Nazi messagesThe cops shared images like swastikas, a depiction of refugees in a gas chamber, and Reich flags, officials said Disgusting indeed, but not surprising. A lot of police officers are white supremacists. That’s extremely true for America, but also sadly for here in Canada too. All countries should do an audit of their police officers and military officers. They all should hand over their electronics for inspection Being a police officer is a privilege not a right. If you can't uphold the values that you swear to protect you should be gone. McDonalds is always hiring..
