Officers arrested Joseph George Sutherland in Moosonee, Ont., on Thursday on two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Erin Gilmour and Susan Tice
TORONTO — A 61-year-old man living in northern Ontario has been arrested in the murders of two Toronto women who were found dead in their homes nearly four decades ago, police announced Monday, saying advances in technology helped them crack the cold cases.
Gilmour and Tice were found dead in their homes within four months of each other in 1983. Ramer said both women were sexually assaulted and stabbed to death. Detectives were able to link the cases using DNA technology in 2000, Ramer said, with investigators suspecting the same man killed both women.
