JUST IN: 🇨🇦 A Calgary woman is recovering after being ‘lured’ to a northwest Calgary home, where a violent encounter left a 48-year-old man dead in what police are calling a “clear-cut case of self-defence.
Police say Shahbaz Ahmed lured the woman, in her 30s, to a home in Edgemont on Jan. 9 under the pretense of a property showing. The woman was at the residence with her father, but they became separated inside the large house when Ahmed attacked her without provocation. She managed to fight him off and escape, alerting neighbours who called 911. Ahmed was found in medical distress and pronounced dead at the scene, while the woman was treated in hospital for injuries and is in stable condition.
Calgary Police homicide acting staff sergeant Scott Guterson said the woman “did everything right” and acted entirely in self-defence. The death has been ruled a non-culpable homicide, and no charges will be laid. Ahmed, known to police, had faced previous criminal charges including assault with a weapon and threats but was acquitted in all cases last year.
A 44-year-old Edmonton man has died, leaving behind his wife and three children, after reportedly waiting more than eight hours at the Grey Nuns Hospital while experiencing persistent chest pain.
