Convicted serial killer Bruce McArthur was twice questioned by Toronto police years before he was arrested and charged in the deaths of eight men. The tension is particularly fraught in such a high-profile case as McArthur’s, which has raised questions about how a serial killer could go undetected for years. Earlier this year, former Attorney General Caroline Mulroney said the Ontario government would not call a public inquiry into the McArthur case. A coroner’s inquest could also be called in the McArthur case, another possible venue that would result in a court-like hearing involving witnesses and public exhibits. Toronto police chief Mark Saunders has acknowledged that “the public has some questions” about the force’s handling of the McArthur case.
