Remains Of 6 Individuals Found On Property Linked To Serial Killer Bruce Mcarthur: Police

The Canadian Press, 08 Feb, 2018 12:01 PM
    Police say they have found the remains of at least six people, including those of Andrew Kinsman who went missing in June 2017, on a property where alleged serial killer Bruce McArthur worked and stored landscaping equipment.
     
    McArthur, 66, has been charged with first-degree murder in the presumed deaths of five men and police have said they believe there are more alleged victims.
     
    Today's update will take place near a residential property linked to McArthur where police found planters with the skeletal remains of three individuals.
     
    Police are expected to soon begin excavations at the property and have been thawing the ground to allow a forensic anthropologist to begin work.
     
    Det. Sgt. Hank Idsinga, the homicide detective leading the investigation, has called the case unprecedented in its scope, with officers examining 30 properties where McArthur, a self-employed landscaper, worked.
     
    McArthur was arrested and charged Jan. 18 in the presumed deaths of Selim Esen, 44, and 49-year-old Andrew Kinsman who police said went missing from Toronto's gay village last spring. 
     
    McArthur was further charged in late January in the deaths of two missing men — Majeed Kayhan, 58, and Soroush Mahmudi, 50 — as well as the death of Dean Lisowick, either 43 or 44, who had never been reported missing.
