“Sangita Sharma’s death was the tragic outcome of a callous act of violence,” Peel police chief Nishan Duraiappah said in a release.

“It carried deep impacts on her loved ones and our community. While we are pleased to share that this arrest has been made, we believe there are others responsible for her death. We are committed to ensuring they do not escape that responsibility.”

Police said the investigation is ongoing as they try to identify additional suspects. They are also trying to determine a connection between the suspect and victim.
