Two men arrested for murder plot in Pickering

Toronto police have arrested two men, Gokilan Balamurale and Brannan Skanda Balasegar, both 25, for allegedly plotting a murder in Pickering. They face charges of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder. Their court appearance is scheduled for Friday. The arrests occurred shortly after a mass shooting at a Scarborough pub, where three suspects opened fire, injuring seven people. Police have not linked the two men to this shooting, stating the investigation is ongoing. Balamurale has connections to the tow truck industry and lives near a recent homicide scene in Markham. A woman was killed in that incident, which neighbors believe may be related to a tow truck turf war. Police have not confirmed this connection.
