There are two nicer photos of Dean on his thread.Can we pls replace Dean’s mugshot? I have a photo of him. How do I post it?
Well, technically the experts said that serial killers don't usually start killing in their 50's or 60's. Of course anything is possible, however.No. but thank you for posting it. lol
Det. Idsinga spoke with George Logagianes during the noon newscast today.
It was a short interview but he said that 'experts' in serial killers would have him looking for a mid 30s, brown skinned man as the killer. WRONG
Also that 'experts' say that men don't kill in their 60s. WRONG
There was a bit more but I couldn't watch all of it. Basically, he was saying that BM has blown all known information from 'experts' out of the water as far as being a serial killer.
Hopefully, CP24 will run it again tonight, possibly on the evening news.
Seems there is no video of it but it was almost better than the formal news releases, as he was relaxed and 'chatty' with GL. Sometimes, they say little bits that they won't in a proper news release.
Thanks again dotr.
Perhaps others have already pointed to this, but most victims share the profile of having been a newcomer to Canda, refugee, and had little family/friendship ties in Canada. IMO he was also targeting this profile.

I'm not sure that's entirely true, although perhaps BM was targetting men who didn't appear to him to have close ties, when in fact they did. Also, I think for a time during and after Project Houston, BM did possibly avoid targetting men whose disappearance would attract attention.
Several of the victims had wives, and some had children. I don't believe any of them had gay partners though. We know very little about some victims citizenship status, because their families in Canada don't wish any information to be released: https://www.mississauga.com/news-st...o-s-gay-village-led-double-lives-friends-say/
Dean Lisowick and Andrew Kinsman, and perhaps others, were born in Canada. Skanda Navaratnam is the only other victim who is noted to have arrived as a refugee, but I'm not sure that was relevant to his being targetted.
I just made this. My program wouldnt let me do all 4 the same size; no one is more important than the next. I just wanted a cohesive picture of all the men in happy times. No passport pictures or mugshots❤️ I am not claiming this as my own. So share or delete if its not okay.

I find it so sad, distasteful and disheartening every single time this pic shows up in the Bruce McArthur threads.
It is supposed to be a pic of Skanda, but it is a pic of BM.
Mods could someone please look into this problem and correct it?
Horrible to see BMs face on what should be Skandas photo.

Skanda was from Sri Lanka as was Kirushna. Selim came from Turkey, Majeed was from Afghanistan, Abdulbasir was from Afghanistan, Soroush was from Iran. Only Dean and Andrew were born here.
** Editing to add that Kirushna was a refugee that had his refugee application denied and Skanda was a refugee as well. The other men immigrated here. Their status as refugee or immigrant are important as the lack of family and roots here absolutely has an affect. It’s possible BM preyed on people who he believed were more vulnerable. So in Skanda’s case he was afraid of returning home and Kirushna was apparently in hiding (so under the table jobs? I wonder if this is the connection..). Either way, there is a pattern here and there absolutely is relevance.

I started a petition to drop the smugshots and release the mugshots https://t.co/jCjODM64t2
I don't see any reason why they can't. Historically, LE release mugshots when they believe there could be more victims. This should be entirely the case here, yet they relied on reporters to utilize his social media. Seems wrong to me!There are legal reasons for NOT releasing the mugshot of BM. Just an FYI

They do it in other cases all the time, what's the difference here? Legally or otherwise?
[h=1]Police 'always had that feeling' a killer lurked in the Gay Village, McArthur investigator says[/h]
"We've always had that feeling," Det.-Sgt. Hank Idsinga said of police hunches that a killer may have been preying on men in the Church and Wellesley neighbourhood. Some LGBT residents say there's been open speculation within the community about that possibility for years, and that those fears were communicated to police.
"Until I have that evidence, I can't say it. And that's what we dig for," Idsinga told CBC News.
Idsinga, a veteran investigator, said cracking open a planter in the morgue and finding a human skull was an emotional moment.
"It was sickening, and it was angering," he recalled.
"I was very angry at the time. That this had happened. That this had gone on in this city … I've been working in the city for almost 30 years doing police work, trying to keep the city safe. And realizing this has gone on, it angers you."
Between 1975 and 1978, 14 men from the Gay Village turned up dead. It was widely speculated at the time that the slayings were the work of a serial killer, though police never said so.
"And while I have no evidence whatsoever linking Mr. McArthur to any of these cases, we are definitely looking at them," he said.
"Obviously if that happens it's going to open new doors."
