Three men facing charges in the death of an Owen Sound, Ont., restaurant owner are fighting their extradition from Scotland with claims that Canadian jails are overcrowded and disease-ridden.

Sharif Rahman, 44, was attacked outside of The Curry House restaurant in downtown Owen Sound on Aug. 17, 2023, after confronting three men about an unpaid $150 bill. The 44-year-old husband and father of a young girl died a week later in a London, Ont., hospital.

Robert Evans, 24, faces a charge of manslaughter. His father, Robert Busby Evans, 47, and his uncle, Barry Evans, 54, are charged with being accessories after the fact. All three remain in custody pending extradition proceedings.

''A spokesperson for the force said they were "liaising with the relevant authorities."

It is understood the men were all arrested earlier this year and are currently in custody.

Mr Rahman, 44, died in hospital in London, Ontario a week after the alleged attack outside the Curry House in Owen Sound during a dispute over an unpaid bill.

The Canadian Broadcasting Organisation (CBC) reported that the three men were in the country on visitor visas and left Canada shortly after the incident.''

The suspects clothing WAS a legitimate clue: I've never heard of Irish Travelers until now, but they are a distinct culture.

Interesting that Robert Justin Evans was present but hasn't been charged, but Robert Busby Evans who was not present, has a charge.

Thankfully the wheels are beginning to turn on this case.

Yes, I think because uncle Barry arranged for the prime suspect to flee the scene, and his father arranged for him to immediately flee the country. They even tried to conceal that they'd stayed at a motel an hour away...shows consiousness of guilt, I'd say.

I don't think this was an easy case to crack. Police would have learned right away about their accents, but they chose not to release that...interesting.

I don't think you can identify a male Irish traveler by their clothing. Maybe the women since most overdress. I hate to say it but a lot of the negative stereotypes regarding Irish travelers are accurate when it comes to certain behaviors. They are known to dine and dash.

Agreed.

The clothing items were probably bought in Britain, that’s why they looked slightly different from North American clothing.

It was only shorts and tee shirts.
