''TORONTO — An Iranian-Canadian human rights advocate found dead in his home north of Toronto this week was a kind, polite gentleman who never argued with anyone, friends of his said Friday as police asked for help with the investigation.
York Regional Police have identified Mohammad Mehdi Amin Sadeghieh, 58, as the victim of a suspected homicide. Sadeghieh — who went by Mehdi Amin — was found dead in his townhouse on Wednesday afternoon, a police spokesman said.''
“Investigators will take any piece of information — any little tip, anything — and investigate that thoroughly ,” Sgt. Andy Pattenden said in an interview.
“But as far as what they have looked at or what connections they’ve drawn or anything with regards to motive — (that) is something that we wouldn’t release as part of an ongoing investigation.”
''Investigators are particularly interested in video footage from Amin’s townhouse complex, where Pattenden said security cameras are plentiful. They also want to know what happened to Amin’s vehicle, a black Honda CRV, which was not found at the home.''
''According to the U.S. Department of State, the Iranian regime has been responsible for “as many as 360 targeted assassinations in other countries” since coming to power in 1979.''
