Canadian Contract Killer Receives Additional 15-Year Sentence for Separate ManslaughterPreviousNext

Canadian contract killer Tanner Fox, already serving a life sentence for murdering Ripudaman Singh Malik, a former suspect in the 1985 Air India bombing, received an additional 15-year sentence for the manslaughter of Chad Colivas. Colivas was found with gunshot wounds at his home in March 2022 and later died. Fox pleaded guilty to manslaughter in April 2023. Malik and co-accused were acquitted in the bombing case due to insufficient evidence, with only one person convicted and later released.
