UPDATE: A Fremont man, Varun Suresh, 29, faces serious charges in the brutal murder of David Brimmer, 71, a registered sex offender, with a court appearance imminent. During a hearing at the East County Hall of Justice in Dublin, Suresh’s attorney requested more time to enter a plea, citing significant mental health concerns.
The shocking incident occurred in a neighborhood near Fremont, where Brimmer was found dead from multiple stab wounds. Suresh allegedly used the Megan’s Law website to locate Brimmer, crafting a plan to lure him to his home under the guise of a door-to-door accountant. Authorities report that Suresh chased Brimmer into a nearby residence, where he fatally attacked him.
Witnesses described a disturbing scene where Suresh allegedly slashed Brimmer in the kitchen before pursuing him outside, delivering several final blows. After the attack, Suresh reportedly stood calmly, smoked a cigarette, and surrendered to police. The original police report characterized the altercation as a fight, but court documents reveal Suresh’s premeditated intentions to kill “child molesters” and “sex offenders.”
Suresh’s chilling rationale for the murder has emerged through police interviews. He allegedly expressed a desire to target those he deemed “easy to kill,” claiming, “white guys are so much more graceful” and that “they have no victimhood.” He further stated, “I honestly don’t like pedophiles. They deserve to die.”
Brimmer had a troubling history, with four prior convictions for sexual offenses involving children in Alameda County between 1995 and 2004. His residence at 743 Solstice Ct. was publicly accessible via the Megan’s Law database, which tracks registered sex offenders’ addresses.
This incident marks a grim milestone as Fremont‘s fifth homicide of the year, raising urgent questions about community safety and the implications of vigilantism. Suresh is expected back in court on December 17, 2023, as the case garners significant public and media attention.
With the details unfolding rapidly, this story is likely to develop further, making it essential for community members and stakeholders to stay informed.
