A day after they confirmed two arrests in a grisly daylight killing, Toronto police revealed the suspects’ names and charges.

Around noon on July 20, 19-year-old Annushath Indrakanthan was near a shopping plaza on Bonis Ave. when as many as five men attacked, stabbing him and hitting him on the head with a hammer.

Indrakanthan was rushed to hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.
