Two more people have been arrested over the horrifying alleged kidnapping and murder of 85-year-old Chris Baghsarian, taken from his bed in a case of mistaken identity.
A man and woman, both aged 23, were taken into custody during a raid on a home at Seven Hills in Sydney’s west about 6.30am on Wednesday.
They are yet to be charged with any offences but have been taken to separate police stations for questioning.
Daniel Stevens, 24, and Gerard Andrews, 29, were charged in February, days after Baghsarian’s body was found near a golf course at Pitt Town on Sydney’s north-western fringe.
A blue Hyundai sedan with a hubcap missing on its left side is seen arriving and then leaving the same home just after noon on the following day, February 14.
Police say Baghsarian was held hostage and tortured at the abandoned and derelict property, where they believe he was eventually killed.
Detectives believe the local ringleader of Baghsarian’s botched kidnapping fled overseas shortly after he was killed.
Baghsarian has been remembered as a gentle and cheerful man. “The kindest person we know – someone who would never hurt a fly,” his family said in a statement.
