(CBC) Lawyers for three men charged in connection with a fatal shooting at a family-owned restaurant in Mississauga attempted to poke holes in the story told by the crown’s star witness Friday — and even suggested the man was heavily involved in the murder itself.
The ongoing trial in Superior Court in Brampton has put the men in front of a jury on charges of first-degree murder and five counts of attempted murder for the shooting at the Chicken Land restaurant in the early evening of May 29, 2021, which killed 25-year-old Naim Akl and injured four others.
On Friday, defence lawyers cross-examined crown witness Mikail Aras — who implicated the three accused in previous testimony.
