London police say the second suspect in the beating death of a first-year Western University student has turned himself in.
Police said Tuesday that Haroun Raselma, 19, surrendered to police to face a charge of manslaughter in the death of Gabriel Neil. The 18-year-old Simcoe native had just moved to London to attend Western University when he was assaulted in a parking lot plaza at the intersection of Western Road and Sarnia Road around 2 a.m. on Saturday, September 11, 2021. He was rushed to hospital, where he died from his injuries the following day.
Manslaughter charges were laid against two London men – Raselma and 21-year-old Aliyan Ahmed. While Ahmed was arrested shortly after the assault, Raselma was on the run for four months. A Canada-wide arrest warrant was issued for him five days after Neil’s death.
Raselma was expected to appear in court Tuesday.
