A Melbourne maths teacher and beloved father was drugged and murdered with a baseball bat before his body was dumped in a canal in India, police say.
The officers in Amritsar, in India’s north-west, have now charged the man’s brother with murder, as they continue to scour the canal to find his body.
Documents seen by this masthead suggest the brother has confessed to the murder, which was possibly sparked by a property dispute.
Sunil Sharma was first reported missing on May 23 after travelling to India from Melbourne to sell two investment properties.
