A Toronto court has sentenced Richard Edwin to life imprisonment for the 2022 murder of Kartik Vasudev, a 21-year-old Indian student from Ghaziabad (a city in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh), along with a second stranger killed days apart. The Superior Court of Toronto, presided over by Justice Jane Kelly, rejected Edwin's plea of not being criminally responsible due to a mental disorder, convicting him on two counts of first-degree murder. The verdict brings closure to Vasudev's family after he was shot eight times outside a Toronto subway station in April 2022, a case that had drawn significant attention in India over the safety of Indian students abroad.
