Police have charged a man with second-degree murder Thursday in connection with the death of a 54-year-old man in a Brampton home last month.

Peel police officers were called to Advance Blvd. and Dixie Rd. where they located a man with obvious signs of trauma on the afternoon of July 5.

The victim, identified as Ajay Chibber, 54, of Brampton, was pronounced dead at the scene. He was Peel’s ninth homicide of 2019.

Churaman Ramgadoo, 48, from Brampton is facing second-degree murder charges, police said in a news release Thursday.

Ramgadoo is in custody until a bail hearing is held for him, police said.

The Peel homicide unit continues to investigate.

Anyone with information is asked to contact investigators at (905) 453-2121, ext. 3205 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
