On Nov. 26, police arrested two teenagers — a 15-year-old girl and a 16-year-old boy — on a Hamilton Street Railway (HSR) bus without incident.
In an update from police, investigators said that on Dec. 31, they were made aware that a 16-year-old male was en route back to Canada from Czechia after fleeing the country. He was arrested at Toronto Pearson International Airport that same day and is facing a second-degree murder charge.
The three teenagers have not been identified due to the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA).
Hamilton police said Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), RCMP Interpol services, Global Affairs Canada and Peel Regional Police were all involved in the homicide investigation.
