Publication ban on evidence? What would be the reasoning on this...

At first glance, I'd certainly agree. I felt stumped.
But after giving it more thought, I'm sure profilers have a category for this guy. He likely came up with what he thought was the perfect way to repeatedly get away with murder, and feed his urge. Then every other day of the week lead his ordinary life, being an ordinary guy.
This isn't the first time society has been blindsided by a killer. They often hide in plain sight, and fool those around them.
A legal publication ban on evidence in court is actually quite rare. LE remaining tight-lipped on how an investigation is unfolding, like with the Sherman's, is normal, yes.Its often done in Canada. Same with the Shermans, Bernardo etc.
Will this likely be removed for trial, though? I have yet to come across a trial where there's a publication ban on evidence. On legal discussions, yes.Usually a few reasons: 1. to prevent the family of victims and potential victims from hearing details through the media before they've been told the facts 2. to ensure the accused and potential witnesses don't know what evidence police have when they're being questioned 3. to ensure successful conviction of the accused at the trial by not prejudicing public opinion in advance.
...The arrest followed a police search at a property at 2598 Cooper Rd., near Madoc, about 73 kilometres east of Peterborough.
Ontario Provincial Police installed a gate and sealed off the property, which is 13 kilometres north of Highway 7 off Rimmington Road, Belleville's CJBQ-FM reported.
The property was lit up with flood lights Thursday night and police appeared to be searching in the backyard, Toronto's CFRB reported. Officers remained at the scene Friday.
Joanne Irvine, who lives two doors from the Madoc area house, told CFRB on Friday that McArthur moved in there last summer.

I think the pub ban is to do with multiple first degree murder charges and separate trials for each one. Likely there will be at least two more coming. JMO
