Toronto police issue arrest warrant in death of former CBC journalist

Toronto police have identified a suspect in the random assault that killed longtime CBC producer Michael Finlay, an investigator with the force said Friday as he pleaded with the wanted man to turn himself in. Hillier said early indications suggest there was no connection between the victim and suspect and the attack appears to have been random. CBC previously identified Finlay as the victim earlier this week, a fact Hillier confirmed on Friday. “Michael will be remembered as an exceptional storyteller, documentary-maker and editor,” Perry wrote in the letter, noting Finlay worked on several CBC programs. The public broadcaster said the longtime former CBC producer travelled the world to create radio documentaries.
