The world-renowned Toronto neurosurgeon Shamji was initially charged with first-degree murder in the death of his wife and mother of three, who was a family doctor at Scarborough and Rouge Hospital.
She was last seen November 30, 2016, two days after filing for divorce.
They’d been married 12 years.
Fric-Shamji’s body was found in Vaughan December 1 and Shamji was arrested the following day.
