A second suspect has been arrested and charged in connection with the beating death of a 21-year-old Brampton man earlier this week.
Paviter Singh Bassi suffered life-threatening injuries during an assault near Sandalwood Parkway East and Cedarcliff Trail on the evening of March 19.
He was taken to hospital where he died the following day.
Witnesses had reported to police that they saw Bassi being beaten next to his truck by two males using “some sort of sticks.”
