HUNTER: Cops have DNA in trio of vicious cold case murders | Toronto Sun
''When I would visit my beloved aunt — who lived on nearby Quebec Ave. — I would go to the store every day for newspapers and cigarettes. That part of High Park remained a middle-class, family-focused area sprinkled with a handful of six-plexes
That image was forever shattered on Jan. 21, 1993 when cops responded to a 911 call at 238 Annette St. Inside was kindly Osyp Kawun, 70, the store’s owner who always had a smile. He was dead and he had been beaten to death.
Folks called him “Mr. Thank You” and a soulless killer erased that goodness from a corner of the city.
Kawun is one of 42 unsolved murders in the city of Toronto for the month of January that stretch back to 1967''
“We believe he knew his killer and allowed him into the store after hours,” Toronto Police Det. Sgt. Stephen Smith of the cold case unit told The Toronto Sun . “Mr. Kawun was very generous in that regard. We believe people in the community know who the killer is. We have the killer’s DNA and it’s only a matter of time until we solve this case.”
