Two men have pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in a Canadian court for their role in the killing of Sikh businessman Ripudaman Singh Malik, who was acquitted of the 1985 bombing of an Air India flight.

Malik and a co-defendant were found not guilty of murder and conspiracy in the June 23, 1985, bombing of the plane that caused it to crash in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Ireland, killing all 329 passengers and crew. It remains Canada’s worst air disaster to date.
