First time posting but I have been lurking on here for awhile. I came across this tonight and thought I would share. Its from the Toronto Star.
Kijiji says murder suspects did not find Tim Bosma through its online ad site
Murder victim Tim Bosma posted his 2007 black Dodge Ram truck for sale online including on the popular classifieds website Kijiji.
However, in a statement, Kijiji says that the murder suspects would not have been able to contact Bosma through its site.
Bosma did not reveal any personal information on the site and Kijiji says that his ad did not receive any replies, information it says it has given to Hamilton police.
Kijiji has put out a public statement, saying that the incident did not occur as a result of his ad posting on Kijiji.
After posting an ad on Kijiji, if you choose not to display your personal information which is your choice people can contact you by replying to your ad through Kijiji itself. Kijiji says nobody responded to Bosmas ad this way.
Some media reports have suggested that two people who showed up to Bosmas house on May 6 could have been responding to the Kijiji ad. Bosma took two men for a test drive in the truck he had for sale and never came back.
Police announced Tuesday that Bosmas charred remains were found in Waterloo region. Dellen Millard, 27, was originally charged with forcible confinement and theft over $5,000. A charge of first-degree murder was added on Wednesday. The police are searching for at least two other suspects.
