The suspect in the incident earlier this week at the hotel of Edmonton, Bezhani Sarvar, will be held in custody until at least February 2, the date of his next bail hearing.

The 28-year-old man appeared in court promptly Thursday morning. He is currently in a maximum security cell at the Edmonton Detention Center.

The suspect faces six charges for his alleged actions on January 23 at City Hall in the Alberta capital. He is notably accused of having possessed incendiary material, of having used a firearm during the commission of an offense and of having acted with the intention of causing the detonation of an explosive substance.

Bezhani Sarvar is also the person who appears in an approximately four-minute video circulating on social media, such as the YEGWAVE page on Instagram, according to information collected by CBC from four people who know the suspect. In it, the individual presents a wide range of opinions towards society, in addition to referring to its mission.
