One of three suspects in beating of autistic man in Ontario not guilty: lawyer
MISSISSAUGA, Ont. — A lawyer representing a suspect in the beating of an autistic man says his client is not guilty of the attack that drew outrage from across the country.
Jag Virk says 25-year-old Ronjot Singh Dhami — whose last known address was in Surrey, B.C. — will turn himself into police, but he maintains his innocence.
Peel Regional Police named Dhami as one of three suspects in the beating, which took place last week at a bus terminal in Mississauga, just west of Toronto.
Police identified the second suspect as Parmvir (Parm) Singh Chahil, a 21 year-old man of no fixed address.
