That is a very likely possibility.

Sounds like his murder was drug related.

The Taiwan News reported that detectives believer there may have been more than one killer.



It is not known where in Canada Ryan is from but his Facebook page indicates he might be from Alberta.



Tragedy followed the teacher. His wife, Cat Diamond, drowned last October.



Using surveillance footage police discovered the victim left his home at 7:25 p.m. Tuesday. About 20 minutes later, he is seen visiting an ATM ,where he withdrew a large sum of cash, the News said.



Once he withdrew the money, he returned home and took his dog, Lulu, for her evening walk. It was the last time Ryan was seen on surveillance footage and the last time he was seen alive.



Cops believe it's possible the man may have been murdered while he walked his dog in Zhongzheng Riverside Park, where his body was discovered Wednesday.



According to the newspaper, Ryan was arrested last March in a drug case but he further fell afoul of cops when he was required to submit a urine sample. Instead, he used tap water.



And things didn't get any easier after the March incident.



In May, Taipei cops found a number of foreigners in possession of marijuana at a popular nightclub and Ryan was fingered as the source and arrested.



Investigators believe his murder may be tied to the illicit drug trade. But it also may have been a simple case of robbery.



Between Aug.20  and Aug. 21, he had withdrawn about C$4,241 yet no cash was found on his body or in his house, police say.

Taiwan has harsh penalties for drug possession and trafficking.

One American, one Taiwanese arrested in murder of Canadian teacher.



Taipei, Aug. 26 (CNA) Two suspects in the gruesome murder of a Canadian national in New Taipei last week were ordered to be held incommunicado Sunday morning -- several hours after their arrest -- on suspicion of involvement in the homicide.



New Taipei district prosecutors ordered the extended detention of an American national and a Taiwanese man after interrogating the two suspects, believing if released they could concoct a bogus alibi or flee.



The Canadian victim was identified as Ramgahan Sanjay Ryan, 43, who resided in New Taipei's Yonghe District. His dismembered torso was discovered on a riverbank under Zhongzheng Bridge in the district Wednesday.



Ryan's limbs and head have since been recovered from the Xindian River, where police recovered an arm and foot on Saturday.



New Taipei police said Saturday they and district prosecutors organized a special investigative team soon after the torso was discovered, beginning efforts to collect evidence and relevant CCTV footage.



After a search of the crime scene, police found two machetes, which based on a tentative comparison of the wounds to the torso they believe are likely the murder weapons, though that has yet to be confirmed by forensic examination, said Lin Chen-jui (林振瑞), an investigation division chief at Yonghe Police Precinct at a press briefing on Saturday.



Police traced the sale of the machetes to a hardware store in Taipei's Wanhua District and a Taiwanese man surnamed Wu (吳) on Aug. 18, Lin said.



They then identified the American suspect with evidence from eyewitnesses, CCTV footage, communication records and satellite positioning data, which confirmed he was in the vicinity, Lin said.



On Friday police apprehended the American national and Wu, Lin said, adding that police are still searching for a third suspect who remains at large.



Tabloid Apple Daily reported Sunday that the American suspect is Ewart Odane Bent, 30, and the Taiwanese was identified as 21 year-old Wu Hsuan (吳宣). Both men have denied any involvement in the crime, the report said.



However, initial results from the investigation indicate the homicide was planned in advance, with the suspects believed to have been acquaintances of Ryan. Wu is believed to have purchased the machetes and given them to the American suspect to commit the crime, according to police.



Police believe that knowing Ryan often walked his dog in the area, the suspects laid in wait in the riverbank area where they ambushed the victim. Police also believe the place where Ryan's torso was found was also where he was killed.



However, police have yet to determine a motive for the crime, whether Ryan was chained before being killed and how many people were involved in the murder, they said.



At the Saturday press briefing, Lin said police have identified another suspect and issued an order preventing the person leaving the country until interviewed and cleared of involvement.



Lin added that the American national has denied any involvement in the crime while Wu admitted to buying the machetes and giving them to the American but said he had no knowledge of what they were used for.



Ryan had lived in Taiwan for approximately 10 years and his Taiwanese wife drowned last year during a trip to a beach in Yilan. He was also previously arrested for possession of marijuana.

Let's see, the population of Tauwan is 23.57 million. The population of Canada is 37 million. The odds of Fash knowing one Canadian teaching in their capital city seem pretty remote.

One of those pictures must be wrong, in the first one the guy looks Indian, not negro.

The first guy is the victim and he is East Indian. The second guy is the suspect and he is black.

They have blacks in Taiwan??? No wonder Fash emigrated!

Read the bloody article. Both the victim and the suspect are expat workers not citizens.
