Family of alleged McArthur victim calls for public inquiry in police actions
TORONTO — The family of a man allegedly murdered by accused serial killer Bruce McArthur is calling for a public inquiry into the police investigation of several men who went missing from Toronto’s gay village.
Selim Esen’s brother issued the demand after a brief court hearing for McArthur on Friday, where his case was put over until July 23 as prosecutors said they had handed over all their evidence to the defence.
McArthur, 66, is charged with the first-degree murder of eight men, most of whom went missing from Toronto’s gay village.
Esen’s brother, who flew to Toronto from his home in the U.K. to attend McArthur’s hearing, said he didn’t think police had taken the 2017 disappearance of his sibling, or other similar cases, seriously.
