Chandrababu Thambu, 56, and his 25-year-old son, Preijanthan Chandrababu, were found dead inside their home
A 27-year-old Calgary man has been charged with two counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of a father and son in June.
Anandaloj Srianandan is accused of killing Chandrababu Thambu, 56, and his 25-year-old son, Preijanthan Chandrababu, both of Calgary.
On June 10 at about 5:15 a.m., Calgary emergency crews received a call about four people in medical distress at a home on Panamount Common N.W. in Panorama Hills.
Police believe there was an altercation inside the home, which escalated into a violent assault. The father and son were found dead inside.
Srianandan is not a member of their family, but the two men knew him, Calgary Police Service said in a release issued Thursday morning.
Srianandan spent some time in hospital with critical injuries. Police previously said the suspect would be charged when he was "medically fit."
He is scheduled to appear in Calgary Provincial Court on Monday on the second-degree murder charges.
