Case of Bruce McArthur, facing 8 murder counts, back in Toronto court next month

TORONTO — The case of a man accused of killing eight men with ties to Toronto’s gay village has been put over to next month.

Bruce McArthur, a 66-year-old self-employed landscaper, faces eight counts of first-degree murder.

The remains of seven men were recovered from planters at a property where McArthur had worked but police had struggled to find any connected to a man who disappeared in 2012.

Police said in July that his dismembered remains had been recovered from a ravine behind the same property.
