Police identify three more sets of remains in Bruce McArthur investigation

By

TORONTO – Police say they’ve identified the remains of three people believed to be victims of alleged serial killer Bruce McArthur.

The 66-year-old self-employed landscaper is facing seven charges of first-degree murder in the deaths of men who all had connections to the city’s LGBTQ community.

Since McArthur’s arrest in January, police have found the remains of seven people in planters on a Toronto property where McArthur used to work.

Investigators had previously identified three of the seven sets of remains, and Det. Sgt. Hank Idsinga says they have now identified three more as belonging to Selim Esen, Dean Lisowick, and Abdulbasir Faizi.

Previous identified victims were Andrew Kinsman, Soroush Mahmudi, and Skandaraj Navaratnam.

Idsinga says the remains of alleged victim Majeed Kayhan have not been identified.

Idsinga says police are currently re-examining 15 cold cases dating back as far as 1975 in their investigation. He says police also plan to investigate 75 properties linked to McArthur starting next month.
