Owen Sound restaurant reopens following fatal assault of its owner
The Curry House opened its doors Sunday, three months after the death of its owner Sharif Rahman, who was assaulted right outside his restaurant.
CTV News spoke to Rahman’s widow, Nassir, who said she had a heavy heart Sunday, but hopes to make the community proud.
On August 17, Rahman reportedly had a dispute with three customers, who then allegedly violently attacked him and his nephew.
Rahman’s nephew suffered minor injuries, but Rahman died one week later in a London, Ont. hospital.
In September, police said the alleged suspect males fled the area and are still at-large.
The first suspect is described as male, Caucasian, between 5’10”-6’2” in height, with a medium build, and short dark hair. At the time of the assault, he was wearing a light blue t-shirt, black shorts, and black running shoes.
