Summary
Robert Evans Jr., 25, pleaded guilty in Ontario to manslaughter in the 2023 death of restaurant owner Sharif Rahman after a dispute over an unpaid $150 bill outside an Owen Sound curry house.
Robert Busby Evans, 49, and Barry Evans, 56, admitted being accessories to the crime and were sentenced to time already served, while Evans Jr is due to be sentenced next month.
Rahman, 44, was found in the street after the altercation and died a week later in a London, Ontario, hospital; police said the three men had left Canada shortly after the incident.
The men, believed to be from Manchester, were extradited from Scotland last year after consenting at separate hearings, and the two older men are now in Canadian border agency custody for repatriation.
