ORIGINAL STORY

A 21-year-old man has been charged with manslaughter in the death of 17-year-old Ezzulddin Al-Ogaidi whose body was found in a remote area near Morley on Monday.

Matin Hamid Ahmet was arrested by police on Wednesday and charged with manslaughter, careless use of a firearm, pointing a firearm, possession of a weapon for dangerous purpose, possession of a firearm without a licence and possession of a weapon obtained by crime.

Police were called to a home on San Diego Way N.E. on Saturday night after an area resident heard what sounded like a gun shot and called 911.

When officers arrived, they found the home empty.

The following day, the investigation led police to a residence in the Dover area where several people were arrested.

Search warrants were conducted on the two homes and on Monday, police found the body of Ezzulddin Al-Ogaidi in an area north of Morley.

On Tuesday, three men were arrested and charged with accessory after the fact to murder:

  • Ahmed Abid, 24
  • Mohammed Khalil, 28
  • Ashraf Jasem Ajil, 23

The three are scheduled to appear in court on Thursday and Ahmet is expected to make an appearance on  December 15, 2016.
