Bruce McArthur makes brief court appearance, case put over to Feb. 28
TORONTO — Alleged serial killer Bruce McArthur appeared briefly by video in a Toronto courtroom Wednesday morning, before his case was put over until the end of the month.
The 66-year-old self-employed landscaper faces five first-degree murder charges in connection with the disappearances of several men believed to have had ties to Toronto’s LGBTQ community.
Police have found the dismembered remains of six individuals in large planters at the home of one of McArthur’s clients, and investigators have said they expect to lay more charges in the coming days.
McArthur, wearing an orange jumpsuit, said little during his short court appearance, speaking only to thank the court at the end of the proceedings.
