Ripudaman Singh Malik's son says he doesn't believe his father's murder in Surrey yesterday has anything to do with the acquittal in the Air Indian bombing trial 17 years ago.

Jaspreet Singh Malik says he is ``very much convinced'' his dad's murder and results of the trial are unrelated, and he trusts the RCMP to solve this crime.

A BC Supreme Court found Malik and a co-accused not guilty in the two bombings of Air India jets in June 1985 that killed 331 people.

Police say the people inside a Honda CRV who shot Malik had been waiting for two about half hours for him to show up in the parking lot near his business.

Police are releasing few details about the fatal shooting of Ripudaman Singh Malik.

Sergeant David Lee says video shows Malik's attackers waited for hours to ambush him in the Surrey parking lot where he was gunned down yesterday.

Lee says a white Honda CRV pulled up around 7am and Malik was shot just before 9:30am.

Lee says there were several people in the SUV and police don't yet have a motive for the shooting.
