    TNTC+ // Aldane Mesquita - Part 2

    PLEASE READ: This episode will be available to non-subscribers on Friday November 29th, TNTC+ subscribers get early access on November 26th. In this episode, we delve into the life and tragic death of Aldane “Dale” Mesquita, a devoted father and beloved son whose 2018 murder shocked the Edmonton community. Dale’s body was discovered in a van in Strathcona County, sparking an investigation that revealed the harrowing details of his final days which included kidnapping, criminal confinement, and torture. We were honoured to sit down with Dale’s ex-wife, Tamara, who shares an intimate portrait of Dale’s life, his dreams, and his struggles. Through her heartfelt reflections, we learn about the man behind the headlines and the devastating impact his death has had on those who loved him. The investigation led to multiple arrests and charges. Several men, including Omar Abdirizak Omar, Clement Fofie, Roger Rurangwa, and Mohammed Jawara, were charged with first-degree murder, kidnapping, and aggravated assault. Tyson Richard Clark and Jean Leon Musoni later faced similar charges. Authorities also seek Christian Nyabirungu, describing him as "armed and dangerous" and issuing a Canada-wide warrant for his arrest. Christian Nyabirungu is still WANTED. --
