A man who was fleeing arrest for a gang-related murder in Thailand has been confirmed as one of the victims of a plane crash in northwestern Ontario.

The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of BC says in a release that Gene Lahrkamp, one of two men wanted for the February shooting of BC gang member Jimi Sandhu, died in the April 30th plane crash near Sioux Lookout.

The CFSEU, which investigates gang-related crime in BC, says Lahrkamp and Mathew Dupre, who was arrested in February for Sandhu's slaying, both fled Thailand for Canada after the shooting.

Lahrkamp was named late last month as second on the list of Canada's 25 most-wanted criminals but police say he and the three other people aboard the small plane died in the Ontario crash, which is still under investigation.
