Canadian Hitman Sentenced to Life for 2022 Murder of Ex-Air India Bombing Suspect

Tanner Fox received a life sentence for the killing of Ripudaman Singh Malik, with questions persisting about who ordered the murder.

Tanner Fox, 24, was sentenced to life in prison without parole for 20 years for the 2022 murder of Ripudaman Singh Malik in Surrey, British Columbia.
Fox and his accomplice, Jose Lopez, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and admitted they were paid to carry out the killing, though the identity of those who hired them remains undisclosed.
Malik, acquitted in 2005 of charges related to the 1985 Air India bombing, was shot multiple times while sitting in his car near his business.
The Air India bombing, which killed 329 people, is the deadliest terrorist attack in Canadian history and was linked to Sikh separatist extremism.
Malik's family has publicly urged Fox and Lopez to reveal who ordered the murder, and calls for further investigation into the case continue.
