A Brampton teen has been arrested and charged with the first-degree murder of George Kalogerakis, 38, following a home invasion on November 12, 2009. A former supervisor is in disbelief that the teen could kill anyone.
Police say that Kalogerakis was attacked at his home early Thursday morning. The
Brampton Guardian reports that drugs played a part in the home invasion.
The police are looking for Shevon Bailey, 21, as a suspect in the case. They are to be considered armed and dangerous.
Isaac Kwakye, 18, was arrested on Saturday. He has been charged with first-degree murder.
Digital Journal spoke to Malcolm Prier, a former supervision of Kwakye who doesn't believe the young man is capable of killing another person. Prier says that the teen left his job about 3 or 4 months ago.
"I was not working the day that Issac left. I was working a different shift."
Prier said that Kwakye did boast at times about having street cred but Prier says that the boy was too soft to be a killer and it was normal male posturing.
"Issac is as about as gentle as a kid could be. When the guys at work saw his page in the paper no one could believe that Issac was this kid being charged with murder," Prier spoke with disbelief,"No, I don't believe it, not in a million years."
When asked if it was possible in his opinion that Kwakye was in charge of the crime Prier replied:
"Issac, he's a good kid but not the sharpest tool in the shed. There is no way that he was in charge of this."
