Police detectives investigating the slaying of Fouad Nayel have told his grieving family they have suspects in the homicide case.
“They told us they have suspects but they don’t give you any more information than that,” said the dead man’s father, Amine Nayel.
His son, a 28-year-old Ottawa construction worker, went missing on June 17, Father’s Day.
His disappearance prompted both police and his family to launch searches, focusing on all routes from Ottawa to Petawawa. On the morning he left home, he told his father he was heading to Petawawa but would be home that night for supper. (They always ordered Chinese food for Father’s Day.)
Ontario Provincial Police and Ottawa police are investigating the homicide together.
Nayel’s body was found Sunday in the woods of Calabogie, about 100 kilometres west of Ottawa, and identified in an autopsy Wednesday.
It’s still early in the investigation and police have not announced any news about suspects, let alone arrests.
His mother, Nicole Nayel, says her life has stopped still the day her son went missing five months ago.
