Fourth Arrest in Sydney Grandfather's Murder
22 Apr
Summary
- An 85-year-old grandfather was kidnapped from his home and later found deceased.
- Police believe the victim was taken by mistake and not the intended target.
- A fourth man has been charged in connection with the alleged kidnapping and murder.
A fourth man has been charged in connection with the alleged kidnap and murder of an 85-year-old Sydney grandfather, Chris Baghsarian. Authorities believe the widower was tragically taken by mistake during a pre-dawn raid at his North Ryde home on February 13.
His body was discovered approximately two weeks later near a golf course. Investigators suspect the intended target was a nearby family allegedly linked to organized crime. Baghsarian, who had no criminal connections, was described by his family as a gentle and deeply loved individual.
Following the discovery of his body, two men were arrested and charged. A third man, described as a key figure, was charged last month. Most recently, a 19-year-old was arrested and charged with murder and unlawful detention, bringing the total charged to four, with more arrests anticipated.
