Three Britons plead guilty over death of restaurant owner in Canada

Robert Evans Jr. pleaded guilty after a dispute over a $150 restaurant bill left Sharif Rahman dead, and two relatives admitted being accessories after the fact.

  • Three British men pleaded guilty in Canada after the death of 44-year-old restaurant owner Sharif Rahman following a dispute over an unpaid bill.
  • Robert Evans Jr, 25, admitted to manslaughter, while his father, Robert Busby Evans, 47, and uncle, Barry Evans, 54, pleaded guilty to being accessories after the fact.
  • The court heard the trio attempted to leave without paying a $145 restaurant bill, and Evans Jr threw the punch that ultimately led to Rahman’s death.
  • Rahman died in August 2023, one week after the altercation outside his Indian restaurant in Owen Sound, leaving behind a wife and young daughter.
  • Prosecutors said Barry Evans encouraged his nephew to flee by telling him to "run, run" and driving him away, while Robert Busby Evans allegedly arranged a flight for him back to the UK. The three men, believed to be from Manchester, were extradited from Scotland to Canada late last year and entered guilty pleas on Friday.
