Search continues at Toronto home linked to accused killer

By

TORONTO – Forensic officers are combing through a Toronto home as part of an investigation into accused killer Bruce McArthur.

Cadaver dogs have been brought to the scene as they continue their search of the property, which now includes a nearby ravine.

Forensic investigators have been spotted going in and out of the house, emerging with at least one bag. There’s no confirmation on what is in the bag or what they have retrieved.

McArthur, 66, a self-employed landscaper, was arrested and charged Thursday as part of an investigation into the disappearance of Selim Esen, 44, and Andrew Kinsman, 49, from Toronto’s Gay Village.

It’s unclear what McArthur’s connection is to the property but one neighbour recalls he was a frequent visitor to the house.

“I’ve seen him many, many times,” Kevin Lahey told CityNews. “He used to come here three or four times a day, in the summer especially because he owns a landscaping business. I’m just shocked that this happened.”

Forensic officers have also been collecting evidence at four other locations, including a nine-acre property in Madoc, Ont., north of Belleville.

Police have said they believe McArthur is responsible for the deaths of other men, though they did not say who or what led them to that conclusion. They said new evidence surfaced that gave them a “definitive link,” but did not elaborate further.
