GTA "cop killers" identified

You think either of these guys belonged to the University of Toronto gun club?
Nadeem Jiwah, 19, has been charged with manslaughter. A second suspect, 23-year-old Baseer Yousafzai, was also arrested and is facing various charges of theft and mischief.

The men were scheduled to make a court appearance in Newmarket later this afternoon.

I mean, it's not like boosting car stereos and selling them to teenagers at the mall, is it?
The white Honda Civic driven by one of the suspects is registered to Vishal Bilimora, of Ajax, Ont., who runs an auto body shop there.

When contacted yesterday by the National Post, Mr. Bilimoria said Mr. Jiwa would occasionally borrow his car and that he had been in possession of it for the past week.

“He is a friend of mine and he wanted to borrow the car to go out one night and I told him ‘Go ahead.’ He would borrow the car from time to time."

"I had no idea what he was doing.”
Turns out Bilimora's friends were busy little beavers...
The two accused men are already before the courts because of airbag thefts. They face a total of 13 charges, including theft under $5,000, after being arrested April 14.

Jeff... shouldn't you really be tending to the 10 people who've dropped by your blog today?
