A man from California has been charged after allegedly pretending to be an accountant, going door-to-door in search of a registered sex offender, and then fatally stabbing the individual while reportedly telling police it was “really fun” to commit the act.
Varun Suresh, 29, is facing serious charges, including murder, causing great bodily harm with a weapon, and residential burglary in connection to the September 18 death of 71-year-old David Brimmer, according to KTVU.
What are the allegations against Varun Suresh?
Court documents revealed Suresh specifically aimed to target sex offenders because he believed they “hurt children” and “deserve to die.”
Suresh used California’s Megan’s Law website to identify Brimmer, a former pastor convicted in 1995 for lewd acts with a minor, and allegedly sought him out, reasoning that, at Brimmer’s age, he would be “easy to kill,” as per an affidavit cited by People.
To remain inconspicuous, Suresh allegedly visited other homes in the area under the guise of being an accountant before approaching Brimmer’s house, officials stated.
Upon Brimmer opening the door, Suresh attempted to appear as “non-threatening as possible,” he explained to authorities, but once he confirmed Brimmer’s identity, he proceeded to attack him with a knife.
Brimmer fled, running down the street, as Suresh chased him from behind, instructing him to “get his last words in,” KTVU reported.
Eventually Brimmer raced inside a neighbor’s open garage, then pounded on the door leading into the house. When the homeowner opened the door, Brimmer rushed inside, but was quickly followed by Suresh.
Suresh allegedly cornered the man in the kitchen, authorities noted, and stabbed him in the neck as the homeowner screamed for him to stop.
Brimmer managed to run out of the house before collapsing on the front lawn, where Suresh straddled him and began stabbing him several more times in the throat, authorities said.
Suresh allegedly told police, ”I just wanted to make sure it was done.”
Fremont Police officers arrived to find Brimmer “gravely injured” on the ground, police said in a statement about the attack.
“The victim was suffering from significant stab wounds,” police shared. “Officers immediately administered trauma care; however, the victim passed away on the scene.”
Suresh, who was arrested at the scene, allegedly told police that he never intended to get away with the crime.
“I’m hoping that because [the victim is] a pedophile… like, everyone hates pedophiles… so like, it should be cool. It should be cool,” Suresh reportedly said before adding he “didn’t feel sad at all” about Brimmer’s death and described it as “honestly really fun.”
Suresh was previously arrested in 2021 after leaving a suspicious bag at a Hyatt Place hotel, KTU reported. At the time, he allegedly told police he had been targeting a company leader, who he believed was a “pedophile,” according to court documents.
Suresh is currently in custody, where he is expected to undergo psychiatric evaluation, People reported.
