Alleged serial killer Bruce McArthur to stand trial in January 2020

Nov 30, 2018 | 7:00 AM

TORONTO — An alleged serial killer facing murder charges in the deaths of eight men with ties to Toronto’s gay village will stand trial in January 2020.

Bruce McArthur said little in a brief court appearance this morning and avoided looking at the family members of his alleged victims.

Police found the remains of seven of the men in large planters at a property where the 67-year-old worked as a landscaper.

The remains of the eighth alleged victim were found in a ravine behind the same property in midtown Toronto.

The Crown said was ready to start the trial in September 2019, but the defence said it wouldn’t be available until January.
