''Cops found taxi driver Anthony Ekunah slumped across the front seat of his cab.
There was enough blood in the interior to decorate a slaughterhouse. The hard-working, 36-year-old married father had been stabbed and slashed and was dead at the scene.''
''Now, Toronto Police cold case detectives are hopeful that new technology and advances in DNA could finally lead them to the cold-blooded killer.''
''On June 30, 1991, Ekunah left the Tretheway Dr. residence he shared with his wife and son for the overnight shift driving hack for Metro Cabs. He drove yellow cab 670.''
''Doyle said around 1:14 a.m. on that Canada Day, Metro received a call for a pickup at 783 Willowdale Ave. with the fare going to the area of Finch Ave. W. and Leslie St. That was the last anyone heard from Ekunah.''
''The victim left behind his pregnant wife and a 3-year-old son. He had been in Canada just five years.''
''Doyle is currently working on getting an offender DNA profile by re-submitting certain exhibits and evidence to be analyzed by scientists. The new process of genetic genealogy may also provide answers.
“One hundred per cent, we can identify the unknown offender,” he said.''
''Raybould said of the $100,000 reward: “‘ll tell you, I’d be happy to hand the cheque to someone if it brings the killer to justice.”
If you have any information on the murder of Anthony Ekunah contact the Toronto Police homicide unit at 416-808-7400, homicide@torontopolice.on.ca or Crime Stoppers at 416−222−TIPS (8477).''
