Murder Suspect Targeted Sex Offenders In Slaying Of Bay Area Man: Police

Varun Suresh used the Megan's Law database to target David Brimmer, a convicted sex offender, leading to Fremont's fifth homicide of the year, prosecutors said.

  • On September 18, 2025, 29-year-old Varun Suresh fatally stabbed 71-year-old David Brimmer at his home in Fremont, California.
  • Suresh targeted Brimmer after identifying him on the publicly accessible Megan's Law sex offender registry because of his age and past convictions.
  • Suresh posed as a door-to-door accountant to appear legitimate, chased Brimmer into a neighbor's home, and stabbed him multiple times including cutting his throat.
  • Police found a knife at the scene that is thought to have been used in the murder and noted signs of a violent struggle, while Suresh told investigators, "I don’t like paedophiles" and described the killing as "honestly really fun."
  • Authorities charged Suresh with murder plus enhancements for residential burglary and use of a deadly weapon, described the incident as isolated, and said there is no ongoing public threat.
