sought-submissive-men-is-alleged-serial-killer-police-say.html
A former landscaper and shopping mall Santa Claus who police are calling
an “alleged serial killer” is now suspected of murdering at least five
people in the Toronto area -- and officials warn more victims could be
found buried in backyard gardens and planters as the investigation rapidly
expands.
Toronto Det. Sgt. Hank Idsinga said at a news conference Monday that the
dismembered remains of at least three victims were found hidden in the
bottom of large planters in the backyard of a Toronto home that Bruce
McArthur, 66, used to store items for his landscaping business. Idsinga
said the remains have not been identified.
"The city of Toronto has never seen anything like this," Idsinga said. "It
is unprecedented and draining. He's an alleged serial killer and he's
taken some steps to cover his tracks."
McArthur was charged Monday with first-degree murder in the deaths of
three men, adding to two cases against him filed earlier. Police are
searching about 30 properties where McArthur worked, Idsinga said, and he
urged the man's customers to contact police.
"It encompasses more than the gay community. It encompasses the City of
Toronto."

"We believe there are more remains at some of these properties that we are
working to recover," Idsinga said. "We have seized quite a few planters
from around the city and we will continue to do that. There are at least
two sites that we do want to excavate where people might be buried."
McArthur was charged earlier this month with first-degree murder in the
presumed deaths of Selim Esen and Andrew Kinsman, both reported missing
from Toronto's gay village area at separate times last year.
Idsinga said Monday that McArthur has now also been charged in the deaths
of Majeed Kayhan, 58; Soroush Marmudi, 50; and Dean Lisowick, 47.
Court documents viewed by the Toronto Star say police believe McArthur
killed Kayhan -- an Afghan immigrant -- around Oct. 18, 2012, before he
was reported missing by his son.
The documents added police believe Mahmudi, a painter, was killed around
Aug. 15, 2015. He also was reported missing by family members, according
to the newspaper.
Idsinga said Lisowick was an occupant of the shelter system who had not
been reported missing. Police believe he was slain between May 2016 and
July 2017, the Associated Press reported.
"It encompasses more than the gay community. It encompasses the City of
Toronto," Idsinga said.
The Toronto Star said police have not yet provided any information about
McArthur’s ties to Esen and the newly-announced victims, or details about
how the men were allegedly killed.
“We have to wait for DNA tests, and we have to get tests from the people
who are outstanding and their family members before we can identify the
remains,” Idsinga said when asked if the three men were the remains found
in the planters.
Idsinga previously said investigators have a “pretty good idea” of how
Kinsmen and Esen died, the Toronto Sun reported.
Members of the LGBTQ community were pushing for answers last year in light
of the disappearances of 44-year-old Esen and 49-year-old Kinsman.
Officers investigated McArthur for months but could not make a definitive
link to the disappearances until January, police said.
Idsinga has said McArthur had a sexual relationship with Kinsman.
“Everyone just feels sad and uneasy and I’ve been texting people all
morning telling them to come over and meet up if they need to talk,” a
bartender at Woody’s in the downtown Toronto area told the National Post.
“The entire village has been affected by this because we’re like one big
family.”
When police raided McArthur’s Thorncliffe Park apartment on Jan. 18, they
“kicked down the door” and found a man tied up on a bed, sources told the
Toronto Sun.
“They cut him loose and checked him out medically,” a police source told
the newspaper. “He was OK.”
McArthur was an active member on gay dating apps such as manjam and
silverdaddies, using variations of “silverfox” for his aliases, the CBC
reported.
The news agency, citing The Globe and Mail, said McArthur also had a
profile on a fetish dating site in which he asked to be contacted by
"submissive men of all ages."
Peter Sgromo told The Associated Press that he had a violent sexual
encounter with McArthur last April in McArthur's van after they met for
drinks in Toronto's gay village. He said that he has known McArthur for
more than a decade and that an ex-partner went to a support group for gay
fathers with McArthur.
After leaving the bar, Sgromo said they kissed before McArthur led him to
the back of his empty van where they started to undress. He said McArthur
grabbed his neck and twisted it violently downward.
"He was seconds away from snapping it. I really thought my neck was going
to be snapped the way he twisted it," Sgromo said.
Sgromo said he grabbed McArthur's elbow and ended the encounter. He said
he never heard from McArthur again.
He didn't report the incident to police, but after learning of McArthur's
arrest he talked to an investigator.
"I'm shocked but I'm not surprised," Sgromo said.
McArthur appeared in court Monday and will remain in custody until his
next appearance on Feb. 14, the Toronto Sun reported.
In addition to working as a self-employed landscaper, McArthur allegedly
also worked as a Santa Claus at the Agincourt Mall in Toronto, the Global
News reported.
McArthur appears to have run into money problems in the past as he
declared bankruptcy in 1999, according to the CBC.
He also was handed a two year conditional sentence for assault in 2003
after attacking a man with a metal pipe in Toronto in 2001, the CBC
reported.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

He sought "submissive" men? In other words he sought out weak, effeminate
liberal males.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.
ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.
Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.
Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
