Toronto police had the apartment of Bruce McArthur under surveillance — he was suspected in the disappearance of several gay men. When they saw a male date arrive, they feared for the man’s safety and broke down the door. The man was found tied to a bed, shaken but unharmed.
At least five other men weren’t so lucky. McArthur, 66, a landscaper, has been charged with five counts of murder. Police found the dismembered skeletal remains of three men in large planters behind a home where McArthur stored landscaping equipment.
Police warn that they may find more victims. McArthur is being compared to American serial killers Jeffrey Dahmer and John Wayne Gacy.

Dahmer came to mind the instant I started reading this. I was remembering that poor Laotian kid who escaped Dahmer’s apartment, only to be sent back there by the cops who were too dense to realize what was going on. It’s lucky these Toronto cops were on the ball as those Milwaukee cops were not!
