A soldier in the British Army has been charged with murder after the death of a man in Toronto, Canada. Craig Gibson, 28, is accused of assaulting Brett Sheffield in Toronto city centre. Mr Sheffield, 38, was taken to hospital and died two days later.
Toronto Police say efforts were made to save Mr Sheffield's life at the scene before he was taken to hospital. A spokesperson for the British Army said: "We can confirm a British soldier has been arrested and charged for second-degree murder by the Toronto Police, Canada. "Our thoughts are with the family of the victim at this tragic time. As the matter is the subject of an ongoing investigation by the Canadian authorities, it would be inappropriate to comment further."
A spokesperson for NextGen Drainage, the company founded by Mr Sheffield, said: "His absence is felt deeply across the community, our company, and his vast network of friends and colleagues. Brett's passion for helping every person feel valued and cared for will continue to motivate us."
