(CBC) Abdulahi Sharif was prepared to go to extraordinary lengths two years ago to cause as much chaos, destruction and death as possible on the streets of Edmonton, the crown said Wednesday in closing arguments.
At Sharif’s attempted-murder trial, prosecutor Shelley Bykewich told jurors the crown has proved Sharif acted with intent on the evening of Sept. 30, 2017.
The accused faces 11 criminal charges, including five counts of attempted murder and four counts of flight from a police officer causing bodily harm. He is accused of running down Const. Michael Chernyk with his car, then stabbing him repeatedly. Later that evening, Sharif allegedly drove a U-Haul truck into four pedestrians in downtown Edmonton.
