A man charged with first-degree murder in the death of his 11-year-old daughter last week is in hospital with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to Peel Regional Police. Roopesh Rajkumar, 41, was arrested at about midnight on Thursday, around the same time that officers discovered the body of his daughter, Riya Rajkumar, in his basement apartment in Brampton, Ont. Provincial police found Rajkumar driving north on Highway 11 near Orillia, about 130 kilometres north of Brampton, in a silver Honda Civic. Details of his wound weren't immediately released because investigators were still gathering information, Marttini explained. Another vigil organized by a Brampton city councillor is planned for Tuesday between 5:45 p.m. and 7 p.m.
