After an investigation, police have now charged Mohamad Lilo, of Montreal, with kidnapping, which provincial police confirm is related to Hajtamiri’s disappearance on January 12. He is also charged with attempted murder and attempted kidnapping in connection with the attack on Hajtamiri in Richmond Hill in December 2021. Nine days after her disappearance, the OPP announced that Lilo had been charged with criminal harassment. Police have confirmed that Haitamiri was the victim of criminal harassment following alleged threats from Lilo after she broke up with him in the autumn.

THE KIDNAPPING AND THE ATTACK

In January, Haitamiri was forcibly taken from a family member’s home – where she had been hiding after the attack – by three men posing as police who claimed to have a warrant for her arrest. According to York Regional Police, two men attacked Haitamiri in an underground garage in Richmond Hill weeks before her alleged abduction. She suffered a head injury that required about 40 stitches to her forehead. Police later confirmed that he had been hit in the head with a frying pan. Haitamiri’s family said her vehicle was found to have tracking devices at the time of the attack in the garage.

In April, two more men, Riyasat Singh and Harshdeep Binner, were charged by York Regional Police with attempted murder and attempted kidnapping in connection with the Dec. 20 attack at the underground parking garage in Richmond Hill. Singh was arrested at a home in Brampton on April 14, and a Canada-wide warrant was issued for Beaner. Both Binner and Singh were previously arrested in Alberta in March following a police investigation into the theft of more than 40 Ford F-150 trucks in Edmonton. Haitamiri, now 38, has not been seen or heard from since her alleged abduction. She is five feet three inches tall with a slim build and shoulder-length black hair that had been cut shorter before she disappeared. Police say he immigrated to Canada from Iran less than four years ago. Anyone with information is asked to call the dedicated tip line at 1-833-728-3415, local police or Crime Stoppers to remain anonymous.

FAMILY REACTS TO CHARGES

The Hajtamiri family issued a statement following news of the charges. It states: “We are grateful to hear that the OPP have made progress in apprehending the suspects in her assault and abduction and understanding what happened to our beloved Elnaz. These past 6 months have been exhausting and painful since her disappearance as we have continued to search endlessly for her. We met with nothing but silence from the captors, and no trace of our beautiful girl. We hope that the arrest of this suspect will bring us closer to locating her.” The family expressed their thanks to OPP investigators and officers “for their tireless work, compassion and dedication to this case. We are truly grateful and hopeful that this development will lead us to finding Elnaz.” Anyone with information is asked to call the dedicated tip line at 1-833-728-3415, local police or Crime Stoppers to remain anonymous.
