Three Brits admit killing restaurant owner in Canada after ‘unpaid bill’ row
Sharif Rahman died after a row over an unpaid restaurant bill
Three British men have admitted killing a restaurant owner in Canada.
Robert Evans Jr, 25, pleaded guilty on Friday to the manslaughter of Sharif Rahman, 44, after a row over an unpaid restaurant bill in the town of Owen Sound in August 2023.
His father Robert Busby Evans, 49, and uncle Barry Evans, 56, pleaded guilty to being accessories to the crime and have been sentenced to time already served.
The three are believed to be from Manchester, but were extradited to Canada from Scotland last year. Evans Jr will be sentenced next month.
Police told the BBC the two older men have been taken into the custody of the Canadian Border Agency for repatriation.
Rahman, a father of one, died a week after an alleged physical altercation with the Evans family in Owen Sound, about 118 miles (190km) from Toronto.
It was alleged the fight took place in the street outside a Curry House following an argument over an unpaid $150 (£79) bill.
Rahman, originally from Bangladesh, was found in the street by a staff member and later died in hospital in London, Ontario.
At the time, Canadian media outlets reported the three were in the country on holiday visas and left a short time after the altercation.
More than a year later, Evans Jr and his father were arrested by Police Scotland in Edinburgh while his uncle was arrested in Dalkeith.
