Three British men have admitted their roles in the death of Sharif Rahman, a restaurant owner in Canada, after what court records describe as a dispute over an unpaid bill.
Robert Evans Jr entered a guilty plea to manslaughter. His father and an uncle — two additional British nationals whose names have been reported in connection with the case — each pleaded guilty to being accessories after the fact, according to Canadian prosecutors.
The precise location of the restaurant and the amount in dispute were not specified in the summary of proceedings released by Canadian police. Nor was the timeline between the argument and Rahman's death detailed in the public record at the time of filing.
Rahman's family has not issued a statement through Canadian prosecutors. The Evans family has not publicly addressed the pleas.
Sentencing dates for all three men had not been scheduled as of the time of filing.
The amount of the original unpaid bill has not been disclosed.
