BREAKING: A Fremont man, Varun Suresh, 29, faces serious charges in the shocking murder of an elderly registered sex offender, David Brimmer, 71, who was found dead from multiple stab wounds. Suresh’s attorney requested a plea extension on December 17, 2023, due to the defendant’s alleged mental health issues, as reported by NBC Bay Area.
The court session took place at the East County Hall of Justice in Dublin, where the judge granted the defense additional time to prepare. This urgent case has drawn significant attention as it highlights Suresh’s premeditated plan, allegedly involving the use of the Megan’s Law website to track registered sex offenders, including Brimmer.
Court documents reveal a disturbing narrative: Suresh allegedly posed as a door-to-door accountant to lure Brimmer into conversation at his home. The situation escalated violently when, armed with a knife, Suresh pursued Brimmer before fatally stabbing him multiple times in a nearby kitchen and front yard. Witnesses initially described the incident as a fight, but police later uncovered the chilling details of Suresh’s intentions to target “child molesters” and “sex offenders.”
After the attack, Suresh reportedly surrendered to police, smoking a cigarette as he awaited arrest. Investigators claim he confessed to planning the murder, stating he sought out Brimmer because he deemed him “easy to kill.” Disturbingly, Suresh expressed a belief that targeting pedophiles would be accepted by society, claiming, “Everyone hates pedophiles … so like, it should be cool.”
Brimmer, who resided at 743 Solstice Ct., had a troubling history, with four prior convictions for sexual offenses against children in Alameda County between 1995 and 2004. This tragic incident marks the fifth homicide in Fremont this year, raising alarm within the community about safety and mental health issues.
As this case develops, all eyes will be on the upcoming court date. Suresh’s defense team is expected to delve deeply into his mental health background, which could play a significant role in the proceedings.
Stay tuned for updates as more details emerge from this shocking case.
