Description
January 22 Toronto Brian Latocki, twenty-four, was murdered in his home. Two other similar murders had occurred in Toronto in the previous two years; each victim was found naked in his bedroom, dead from a combination of stabbing, strangulation, and beating. Each victim was gay and had visited a gay bar the night before his murder. The similarity of the deaths led police to believe that one person may have been responsible for the murders, which have never been solved. Sergeant Julian Fantino was one of the officers who investigated the Latocki case; he later became Toronto's chief of police, commissioner of the OPP, an MP, and a federal cabinet minister.
