True Crime Tuesday presents Killer Queens; Bruce McArthur: The Toronto Gay Village Murders with Author, Alan R. Warren!
In January 2019, Bruce McArthur, a 67-year-old Canadian landscaper, was convicted of eight first-degree murders and sentenced to life imprisonment. During the seven years between 2010 and 2017, McArthur preyed on men from Toronto's gay community and managed to avoid any detection by carefully cutting the bodies of his victims into pieces and burying them in the pot planters and grounds of his landscaping customers.
His victims included Selim Esen, Andrew Kinsman, Majeed Kayhan, Dean Lisowick, Soroush Mahmudi, Skandaraj Navaratnam, Abdulbasir Faizi, and Kirushna Kanagaratnam. Additional charges were later placed on McArthur after an expanded investigation of hundreds of missing persons and deaths during those years. Author of the Killing Queens series, Alan R. Warren, joins TCT to talk about the slow changes in Canada's system and their attitudes towards homosexuals in the justice system. He also discusses the gross injustices that were allowed to be committed to the community in the period in question.
