Justice Served: The Guilty Plea in Ripudaman Singh Malik's Murder

Tanner Fox and Jose Lopez have pleaded guilty to the second-degree murder of Ripudaman Singh Malik, linked to the 1985 Air India bombing. The two men reportedly had a financial incentive for the killing. However, questions remain about who hired them, as Malik's family seeks full justice.

In a landmark turn of events, Tanner Fox and Jose Lopez have admitted to the second-degree murder of Ripudaman Singh Malik, a pivotal figure acquitted in the Air India Kanishka bombing case. The plea came in the BC Supreme Court just as their trial was set to commence.

The court session included an agreed statement of facts indicating that the two individuals had a financial motive for assassinating Malik outside his family's business in Surrey, British Columbia. While details remain scant, Lopez' lawyer noted his client's youth and potential for rehabilitation.

Malik's family expressed relief at the conviction but insisted that the true masterminds behind the crime have yet to be brought to justice. They are urging cooperation with the RCMP to ensure those behind the scenes are held accountable.
