Police have charged a 26-year-old Calgary man in the death of a longtime chef during an attempted break-and-enter three months ago.
Anthony Archie Michel Christian is accused of second-degree murder and is to next appear in court on Monday.
Investigators have said 56-year-old Christophe Herblin responded to an alarm about 3 a.m. on March 14 at a café he was about to open.
Officers searched and cleared the area, but Mr. Herblin remained in a parking lot for three hours waiting for a contractor to arrive to secure the business.
Police say he was then attacked by three people who had returned to the scene.
Investigators are hoping to talk to two people, Fritz Chiefmoon and Kiara Leather of Calgary, who are believed to have more information about the case.
Mr. Herblin was an executive sous chef at the Glencoe Golf and Country Club in Calgary.
His new business, a French deli and café, was to open shortly after he was killed.
