Hamilton police say the pair went to eastern Europe fewer than 24 hours after Tyler Pratt, 39, was killed at an Arvin Avenue home around 7:15 p.m. on Feb. 28, 2021.
The pair are also charged with attempted murder after a 26-year-old woman was found seriously injured at the scene, police say. She has been released from hospital after "extensive treatment," police say, and continues to recover.
Karafa, who is Slovakian-Canadian, began an extradition hearing in July after Hungarian police arrested the pair. Authorities returned Li to Canada that same month.
