The Vietnamese pearl restaurant was crowded when Tafari Bezabeh burst into the establishment in the summer of 2022, pulling Bernard Cherfan before the eyes of many people who came to eat with the family. The man in their twenties pleaded guilty on Monday at the Laval courthouse to an accusation of unpremeditated murder.

Bernard Cherfan, killed in a restaurant in Laval during the summer of 2022
Tafari Bezabeh, an Ontarian now aged 21, was sentenced to life prison on Monday morning without the possibility of parole before 18 years old, a common suggestion ratified by judge Annie Émond. He had no criminal history before the murder of Bernard Cherfan, which occurred in May 2022. The victim, close to the ex-purer in Gages Frédérick Silva, was seated at the La Pele Vietnamese neighborhood restaurant when she was shot.
The police found photos of the young shooter on his cell phone. In two shots deposited in evidence, we see Tafari Bezabeh proudly exhibiting firearms. The revolver used to kill Bernard Cherfan, however, was never found.
-Bezabeh is not the only one to have admitted his guilt in this case.
Britney Lewis, from Ontario, agreed to drive the two men to Montreal “for a job” on the morning of the murder, reveals the joint presentation of the facts. The woman in her twenties had already pleaded guilty to an accusation of manslaughter and sentenced to 10 years of penitentiary in connection with this file.
The co -accused of Tafari Bezabeh, Joel Jalen Campbell Brown, also pleaded guilty to an accusation of manslaughter in this case.
Me Marie-Philippe Guimond Méthe and Me Sédrik Valiquette represented the DPCP and Me Élise Pinsonneault defended the offender.
