McArthur was previously convicted of assault with a weapon and assault causing bodily harm for an attack that took place on Oct. 31, 2001, court documents show. McArthur, 66, is now facing charges of first degree murder in the disappearances of Andrew Kinsman and Selim Esen, both gay men, from the Church and Wellesley area last year. Bruce McArthur was barred from an area that included the city’s Gay Village and prohibited from spending time with “male prostitutes” as part of the conditional sentence he received for assaulting a man with a metal pipe almost 15 years ago. On April 11, 2003, McArthur received a conditional sentence of two years less a day (the maximum allowed by law) plus three years’ probation. The address of 484 Church St. may also be connected to the now-deceased partner of Majeed “Hamid” Kayhan, who was last seen in October 2012.
