Alkhalil flew a month before a Vancouver jury convicted him in absentia of first-degree murder in the 2012 slaying of Sandip Duhre. He was also convicted of conspiring to kill Duhre and Sukh Dhak, who was gunned down in 2012. Alkhalil was ‘least-wanted valentine’ for CrimeStoppers. Alkhalil is the gangster’s gangster and could be anywhere.

Jailed in the same unit as Larry Amero while on trial, its said the HA biker declined his chance at freedom with Alkhalil. That decision seemed less intelligent as time passed and he serves out his sentence for the gangland killings. Now however it appears the right decision. Amero will get out of jail before becoming an old man. The same can’t be said for Alkhalil.
