Man charged with murder in stabbing of taxi driver
By Unnati GANDHI,
With a report from Jennifer
LEWINGTON, Wednesday,
September 7, 2005, Page A14
A 42-year-old Richmond Hill taxi driver was stabbed to death
during an apparent robbery very early yesterday in Don Mills,
an area residents call quiet and safe.
About 3: 40 a.m., a man living in the apartment unit next to where
the taxicab was parked was awakened by two short blasts of a
horn.
"There was a whole lot of commotion and I woke up and my thought
was, 'People are moving out this early?' Because the door is
open and there's people going in and out. I didn't realize they
were police officers," said the 44-year-old salesman who resides
at the Don Mills Road and Lawrence Avenue apartment building.
He did not want to be identified.
From his bedroom window, he could see the taxi driver's head
leaning in the driver's seat.
"I was groggy and sleepy. I looked out and saw a guy sitting
with his head tilted toward the passenger side. I think, you
know, he's taking a snooze waiting for his fare. I didn't think
too much of it."
An hour later, about 4: 45 a.m., police took two young men into
custody from inside the building before releasing them a few
hours later.
Toronto
Police
Constable Kristine
BACHARACH said the two men
were no longer considered suspects.
Police then arrested an 18-year-old man and charged him with
second-degree murder. Constable
BACHARACH said officers aren't
looking for more suspects.
She added that police will be going through the digital video
footage captured from inside the cab for any other clues.
Morteza KHORASSANI was taken to Sunnybrook and Women's College
Health Sciences Centre where he was pronounced dead. He is the
city's 51st homicide of the year.
The resident described the area as typically quiet. "The sixth
floor is all elderly citizens," he said. "This used to be a safe
neighbourhood. But people are already thinking of moving. It
only takes one [incident] to convince a lot of people to move."
Another resident, who lives on the fourth floor, said he is thinking
of moving out in the next month or so.
"I can't be bothered with it. I've learned from past experience
not to mingle in other people's affairs," said the 53-year-old
man who also did not want to be identified.
"There was a lot of noise all summer long. Not so much arguments,
a little bit of swearing."
The man said he moved to the area five years ago because he had
heard good things about it.
"It is fairly safe. It's just something that happened out of
the blue. It's one of the safest areas that I've been around
in Toronto."
A taxi driver who was in the area yesterday said he couldn't
believe what had happened.
"We have to work 12 hours a day, seven days a week, and we are
hardly paying our bills. No vacation, nothing. And then things
like this happen. It's very sad," said Hamid, who would give
only his first name.
"I work 84 hours a week. I should be a millionaire by now, but
I can't even pay my bills."
As he left a meeting of the Toronto Police Services Board, Mayor
David Miller said: "I am very concerned about the safety of our
taxi drivers. It is a very dangerous job and it is very difficult
in the middle of the night. The initiatives that have been taken,
especially the cameras, are quite effective. Obviously, the circumstances
of this one [incident] will be reviewed and there is anything
more that can be learned we'll learn from it."
Shane SMITH of Toronto has been charged with second-degree murder
and is scheduled to appear in court today.

Night of horror
Friends were unable to prevent the fight between buddies that
left one of them dead on the street in a pool of blood with his
girlfriend weeping over his body.
By Jennifer
O'BRIEN,
Free
Press
Reporter
A 20-year-old London father is dead, one of his best Friends
is accused of killing him and his heartbroken girlfriend and
Friends are left wondering why it happened. James
BLAIR, the
guy "who always had a smile," died Wednesday night after he was
stabbed in the stomach in front of a northwest London apartment
building.
Eighteen-year-old Mwangi
GETHIGA -- known as Kuggy to his Friends
was charged yesterday with second-degree murder.
BLAIR and
GETHIGA had a fist fight in the apartment at 75 Oakville
Ave. that is across the hall from where
BLAIR's girlfriend, Sonyda
KHOUN, lives with their son, Latteral, Friends said yesterday.
"He was the nicest kid, man. He always had a smile on his face,"
said Sok PHUM, 26, one of many Friends who gathered outside the
building yesterday.
"He always brought you up. That's the way he was."
Still stunned by what they'd seen the night before, Friends were
struggling to make sense of what had happened to "one of the
coolest kids around."
"We were all sitting around the apartment like always," said
Jon COLEBY, 19, one of three roommates who live in the apartment
where the fight broke out. "We are all really good Friends. They
(BLAIR and
GETHIGA) hung out every day."
As he spoke,
COLEBY occasionally put a hand up to the bridge
of his nose, where a purple bruise reminded him of the fight
he'd tried desperately to stop the night before.
A crowd of Friends, including
BLAIR,
GETHIGA and
COLEBY, were
drinking beer and planning to take out turntables later to do
some freestyle rapping,
COLEBY said.
BLAIR was a gifted freestyler, he said. "And when he got drunk,
he loved to freestyle."
But that night the skinny, fun-loving dad with the dreadlocks
never got the chance.
BLAIR became drunk and obnoxious, said Jessica
ROBERTS, 18, who
lives with
COLEBY and another roommate in the apartment.
"He just started being rowdy and annoying," she said.
Some of the Friends told
BLAIR to leave, and he did. But about
10 minutes later, he came back into the ground-floor unit.
GETHIGA then told
BLAIR to "get out, that he wasn't wanted in
there at the time,"
COLEBY said.
BLAIR took issue with that and the two Friends started pushing,
then punching each other, while others tried to break it up,
COLEBY said.
BLAIR left the apartment. But when he was outside, he shouted
a racial slur to
GETHIGA, he said.
"(GETHIGA) just went in the kitchen and grabbed a knife,"
COLEBY
said. "We all started fighting with him, trying to get him to
drop the knife, but he was fighting and punching, he punched
me in the face... and we couldn't get it."
GETHIGA made his way out.
By the time
COLEBY got outside,
BLAIR was down in front of the
building, lying in a pool of blood only metres away from his
baby boy, his girlfriend and his Friends.
"There was all this blood and his face was so pale,"
COLEBY shuddered.
"He was gurgling."
It was chaos.
BLAIR's girlfriend, Khoun, raced outside. At one point, she held
her baby's father in her arms, screaming and crying.
She also called 911, while Friends tried cardio-pulmonary resuscitation.
"She was hysterical," said
COLEBY.
She was holding
BLAIR on the
ground, crying out 'Who did this?'
At a friend's house later yesterday afternoon, the devastated
young mother could hardly speak.
Holding her 23-month-old in her arms, tears rolled down her cheeks.
Then Khoun asked for a pen and paper to write something to her
boyfriend of four years.
"We miss your smile, goofiness and loud mouth," she wrote. "Latteral
and I will always love you deep within our hearts... We didn't
lose anything. We gained an angel," she wrote.
BLAIR was born and raised in London, went to Sir Wilfrid Laurier
secondary school and was taking adult education when he died,
his Friends said.
"We're all Friends. We all grew up together," said Ken
PHOMSAMOUT.
"He had this great big smile."
