An international manhunt for two alleged organized crime hitmen ended in the wreckage of a Cherokee 140 near a remote lake in Northern Ontario last week. Canadian authorities have confirmed that two of the four people killed in the crash were wanted on murder charges in Thailand and British Columbia. Gene Lahrkamp, 36, had been on the run from Thai and Canadian police for three months after an Indian national with ties to organized crime in British Columbia was killed at a resort in Phuket. Lahrkamp was on Canada's most-wanted list and a $100,000 reward had been offered. Duncan Bailey, 37, was wanted on attempted murder and conspiracy charges in a shooting in B.C. in 2020.
