Toronto police have announced three additional counts of first-degree murder have been laid against Bruce McArthur.
Detective Sgt. Hank Idsinga told reporters Monday that McArthur is being charged with three additional counts of first-degree murder in relation to the deaths of Majeed Kayhan, Soroush Marmudi and Dean Lisowick.
Lisowick was never reported missing to police. Investigators believe he was murdered between May 2016 and July 2017. He would’ve been 47-years-old at the time of his death.
Marmudi was 50-years-old when he was reported missing by his family in Scarborough.
Police would not comment on the specifics of the evidence they found that linked McArthur to the additional victims.
McArthur, a 66-year-old landscaper, was initially arrested on Jan. 18 and charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Selim Esen and Andrew Kinsman. All five victims have links to Toronto’s Gay Village, though two of the victims identified today “don’t quite fit the profile” of previous victims, Idsinga said. “It encompasses more than the gay community. It encompasses the City of Toronto.”
“We do believe there are more,” Idsinga said. “We have no idea how many more there are going to be.”
So far, police have revealed McArthur had a sexual relationship with Kinsman, though it’s unknown if he had one with Esen. Neither man’s body has been found. Since McArthur’s arrest, police have stated that they believed there were more victims.
