TORONTO - The British army says one of its soldiers has been arrested and charged with second-degree murder in Toronto.
Toronto police said earlier this week that they charged Craig Gibson, of the United Kingdom, with second-degree murder in the death of a 38-year-old man in downtown Toronto.
In response to questions about the suspect, a British army spokesman confirmed that a British soldier was arrested and charged with second-degree murder in Toronto.
Toronto police say they responded to calls of an assault a little before 11:30 p.m. on Aug. 28 in the Portland Street and King Street West area and performed life-saving measures on a man who had been assaulted.
They say the victim, identified as Brett Sheffield of Manitoba, died in hospital the next day.
