McArthur, a self-employed landscaper, was arrested and charged with the first-degree murder of Selim Esen and Andrew Kinsman on Jan. 18, following a months-long probe into missing persons cases of missing men from the city’s Church-Wellesley Village.
On Jan. 29, police said McArthur was charged with three more counts of first-degree murder in connection with the deaths of Majeed Kayhan, Dean Lisowick and Soroush Mahmudi.

Toronto police said during an update earlier this month, the remains of at least six people were recovered in planters at a property on Mallory Crescent, where McArthur performed landscaping work and stored supplies, as part of the investigation. A set of remains were confirmed to belong to Kinsman. The remains of the five other people weren’t identified at the time.
Investigators said they believe there are more victims.
