Instead of making their sentencing submissions, Mohamed Karim’s lawyers are poring through hours of surveillance videos.

Mohamed Karim was convicted in the death of Jack Beauchamp, 49, the head of a mortgage lending company, who was shot six times and found dead in his downtown office in January 2006.

Mohamed Jama Yusuf, 23, stomped 51 year-old Sean Gregory Murphy to death.

OTTAWA — A “bully,” who preyed on a vulnerable cyclist by punching him in the head for no reason and then finished his victim off by stomping and kicking him as he lay unconscious, was sentenced to 7½ years in prison Tuesday.

Ontario Superior Court Justice Lynn Ratushny said she questioned the sincerity of Mohamed Jama Yusuf’s last-minute apology before sentencing him for “violently and callously” delivering the deadly punch that would take the life of 51-year-old Sean Murphy.

Sean Murphy died Sept. 16, 2008, three weeks after he was beaten near the corner of Merivale Road and Shillington Avenue. On Monday, Mohammed Jama Yusuf pleaded guilty to manslaughter.

OTTAWA – Actions speak louder than an 11th-hour apology, a prosecutor argued Tuesday as she sought 12 years for the “brutal, senseless and completely unprovoked” attack that left 51-year-old Sean Murphy dead.

Mohamed Jama Yusuf, 23, pleaded guilty to manslaughter, admitting he punched Murphy, a complete stranger, as he rode his bike towards Yusuf outside a Mac’s Milk store just after midnight on Aug. 26, 2008.

He then stomped and kicked the older, slighter man on the ground.

MONTREAL- A street gang member who was ordered out of the country more than a year ago has been arrested again as he while he still has three major criminal cases pending.
In March 2011, the Federal Court of Canada confirmed a previous decision, by the Immigration and Refugee Board, ordering that Dikila MBosso, 21, be deported to Democratic Republic of Congo, after the court determined he was a member of a street gang tied to the Bo-Gars and was a dangerous criminal, based on his criminal record as a youth. Removing MBosso to the African nation where he was born has proven difficult as it is a country that Canada’s Foreign Affairs department advises against visiting.
