The ex-boyfriend of a Canadian woman who was abducted from her home by three men in police gear has been charged with kidnapping and attempted murder in connection to the incident, according to Ontario provincial police.
Elnaz Hajtamiri, 37, has remained missing since the evening of Jan. 12, when assailants in a white Lexus SUV drove to a home in Wasaga Beach, Ontario, where she was reportedly staying with a relative after breaking up with 35-year-old Mohammed Lilo, of Quebec, who is now in police custody.
According to the homeowner’s account to authorities, the men claimed to be police officers with a warrant for Hajtamiri’s arrest. After tussling with the relative, the men broke into the house, snatched Hajtamiri, and dragged her barefoot through the snow and into the vehicle, the family member said.
