Canadian officials have charged two people with murder in what they have called a "targeted incident" that led to the death of an Iranian regime critic, generating widespread concern in the Canadian-Iranian community.
The remains of Masood Masjoody, 45, a former university math instructor, were found last week in Mission, British Columbia. He had been missing since early February.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) said Mehdi Ahmadzadeh Razavi, 48, and Arezou Soltani, 45, have been charged with one count of first-degree murder in the death. They were due in court on Monday.
Police said the motive is under investigation but noted the three had disputes and exchanges on social media.
Officials launched an investigation after receiving reports from concerned neighbours and determining that Masjoody's disappearance was out of character.
