PEMBROKE, Ont. — The family of a man arrested in the deaths of three women in eastern Ontario has identified the suspect as 57-year-old Basil Borutski.

The suspect's brother, Will Borutski, says he and the rest of the family are shocked and in mourning for the three victims who all died Tuesday in separate incidents.

He said his brother was arrested following the massive manhunt in eastern Ontario.
