Suspect who fatally stabbed a man to death said he wanted to kill a sex offender for years ‘because they hurt children’

A wannabe vigilante who allegedly stabbing and killing another man in Fremont, California, reportedly told police he targeted the victim because his name was on a public sex offender registry.

Fremont police were called to a home in the city after David Brimmer, 71, was allegedly stabbed by Varun Suresh, 29.

Brimmer died at the scene, while Suresh was detained. Officers said in a report that a knife was recovered from his person. He was charged with murder on Monday.

Court documents released on Monday claim that Suresh told police that he had wanted to kill a sex offender for years because “they hurt children.” He reportedly also told them that all sex offenders “deserve to die” and explained his rationale for the alleged killing.

“It is not your duty to decide whether Heaven will accept them, it’s your duty to send them to the gates,” he allegedly said.

Brimmer is listed on California’s Megan’s Law website as a sex offender. In 1995, he was convicted of committing lewd and lascivious acts with a child, and he spent nine years in prison for his crimes.

According to police, Suresh did not know Brimmer.

When investigators searched Suresh’s phone, they reportedly found screenshots of several profiles on the Megan’s Law website. The site includes names, addresses, physical descriptions, photos, and convictions of those on the registry.

The screenshot of Brimmer’s profile was reportedly taken about 45 minutes before the first 911 call was made to reporting the stabbings, according to police.

Police say Suresh impersonated a “CPA going door-to-door looking for new clients” as a ruse to get Brimmer to answer. Suresh allegedly was carrying a bag, a notebook, and coffee around with him to “appear authentic.”

“Suresh thought [Brimmer] may be ‘monitoring’ his residential street ‘thinking someone was going to kill him,’” court documents say. “So, Suresh used the same ruse at [Brimmer’s] neighbors’ houses prior to going to the victim’s address. This…would make Suresh appear legitimate.”

Investigators said that Suresh eventually knocked on Brimmer’s door and spoke with him to try to “appear as non-threatening as possible.” He eventually shook Brimmer’s hand and asked him his name, after which Suresh reportedly responded that “I knew I had the right guy.”

According to court documents, Suresh then dropped his items and pushed Brimmer back into his home. Brimmer reportedly ran out of his home and and tried to flag down a vehicle for help, but it did not stop.

Suresh alleged Brimmer grabbed a rock as though he were going to defend himself after seeing the suspect’s knife, but “didn’t fight back.” He also allegedly told police that he asked Brimmer if he “believes in God” and told him to “get his last words in.”
