On the night of August 17th, 2023, three men walked out of The Curry House in downtown Owen Sound, Ontario, without paying their bill. The owner, Sharif Rahman, followed them onto the sidewalk. He was found unconscious minutes later, and he died a week later in hospital. He was 44, and he left behind his wife and their six-year-old daughter.
Sharif had come to Canada from Bangladesh by way of the United Kingdom, and he became one of the most familiar faces in Owen Sound. He cooked for fundraisers, fed health care workers during the pandemic and sat on community boards. His death shook the city. Police released photographs of the men, then went quiet for almost a year.
In this episode, we learn about Sharif and how a small city police service traced three men across the Atlantic to the UK and brought them back to face a court in Canada.
