Canadian man, missing after truck test drive, found dead

TORONTO (Reuters) - A Canadian man who went missing after he took two men for a test drive in a truck he was trying to sell online has been found dead, Canadian police said on Tuesday.

Police also said murder charges will be brought on Wednesday against the only suspect so far in custody in the case - the heir to a Canadian airline business operation, who was arrested last week and charged with theft and forcible confinement.

Tim Bosma, 32, vanished on May 6 from his home in Ancaster, Ontario. Police said they had found his burned remains but did not reveal the cause of death.

"We are convinced by the totality of the evidence that these are the remains of Tim Bosma," Glenn De Caire, police chief in Hamilton, Ontario, a city of 520,000 about 70 km (40 miles) southwest of Toronto, told reporters. Ancaster is just outside Hamilton.

The man arrested is Dellen Millard, 27, police said on Saturday. Millard, who inherited family-owned aircraft maintenance company Millardair when his father died last year, once held the world record for youngest solo helicopter flight, the Toronto Star newspaper said.

Police said they are now seeking two more suspects in the murder. They said they believe Bosma left the house with two suspects in his truck, while a third followed in another vehicle.

"The investigation is long from over," De Caire said.

Indian arrested for letting son, 9, drive Ferrari

NEW DELHI (AP) — Police in India have arrested a man who allowed his 9-year-old son to drive his Ferrari.

Mohammed Nisham was arrested on charges of endangering the life of a child and allowing a minor to drive, said Inspector Biju Kumar. He was released after posting bail of 5,000 rupees ($92), Kumar said.

Nisham's wife filmed the boy driving the sports car on his 9th birthday two weeks ago with his 5-year-old brother in the passenger seat. The video was widely watched on YouTube and created an outrage across India, causing police to file charges.

India's economic boom has created a class of super-rich, whose excesses are frequently in the news.

Police Inspector M.V. Verghese said the boy's father, who has a thriving tobacco and real estate business, owns 18 cars worth an estimated $4 million.

Nisham turned himself in at a police station near the port city of Kochi in the southern state of Kerala, Kumar said.

Police have impounded the Ferrari, but it will be returned to him in a few days after police complete the paperwork for the case, police said.

The boy's parents were unabashed. "I am proud of him. He's been driving since he was 5," said his mother, Amal Nisham.

She said the boy has also driven the family's Lamborghini and Bentley and other cars.

"It was his 9th birthday, and since he was insisting for months, we allowed him to drive the Ferrari. He is a cautious and confident driver," she told television channel NDTV.

"It's not easy for a child to achieve such a feat at this young age," she said.
