Bruce McArthur facing three additional murder charges

KAWARTHA LAKES-A man who attended Fenelon Falls Secondary School has been charged with three additional murders, bringing the total to five.

66 year old Bruce McArthur was charged today with 1st degree murder in the case of three missing men:

1) Majeed Kayhan, 58, of Toronto, reported missing in October 2012
2) Soroush Mahmudi, 50, of Toronto, reported missing in August 2015
3) Dean Lisowick, 47, of no fixed address

McArthur was previously charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Selim Esen and Andrew Kinsman, who both disappeared in 2017.

Det.-Sgt Hank Idsinga said police discovered unidentified dismembered remains in the bottom of large planters after searching a property linked to McArthur at Mallory Crescent in midtown Toronto.”There’s at least the remains of three people among those body parts,”

And police say there may be even more victims who have yet to be identified.”We do believe there are more and I have no idea how many more there are going to be.”

Police continue to search properties associated to Mr. McArthur and are asking anyone who received landscaping services from him to contact police, if you have not been contacted already.

Idsinga says this is the work of a serial killer. “It’s a serial killer – alleged serial killer,” he told reporters, adding: “The City of Toronto has never seen anything like this.”

McArthur attended Fenelon Falls Secondary School in the late 60’s and graduated in 1970. He was a member of the library club and said his goal in life was to be successful.
