Bruce McArthur "is a sexual predator" who killed his victims for his own "warped sexual gratification," says Justice McMahon.

Now he will examine the nature of the killing and circumstances surrounding offences. The admitted evidence before me. “The only reasonable inference I can draw.

for his own sexual gratification.” Aggravating factors. There was pre-planning. Nature: these 8 men did not suffer a painless death. Kinsman and Esen were victims of ligature strangulation. Use of ligature and pipe to close off their airways meant a likely slow and painful death

Other men had ligatures around their neck. I am satisfied that all men died of ligature strangulation. A slow and painful death for his own sexual gratification. John was also going to become a 9th victim and man who was choked in 2016 may have also been a victim.

McArthur is a serial killer who is morally bankrupt. The accused exploited the victims vulnerabilities. They thought he was their friend. They placed their trust in them to which he manipulated and used to his advantage

The court has resumed. McMahon is getting into the nature of the offences and the character of the accused.
"The accused,

McMahon says since the murders were sexual in nature, it is an aggravating sentence factor.

Justice McMahon finds that
Bruce McArthur’s desire to kill was, at least in part, sexually motivated. He says he has no doubt all 8 men died slow and painful deaths for McArthur’s sexual gratification. McMahon describes McArthur as being “morally bankrupt.”

Degradation to dignity of victims. He staged six of his victims in perverse and degrading fashions and then photographed them. His digital file folders allowed him to keep, revisit and enjoy the brutality of his victims. Even after their brutal deaths, he continued to...

Bruce McArthur's victims suffered slow and painful deaths. The judge called them all vulnerable victims who were lured to their deaths. He says McArthur took advantage of them.
