It was at this home police found the remains of seven men in planters property.

In a news conference Friday Toronto Police said the remains of the eighth person, Majeed Kayhan, was found in the ravine.

McArthur is charged with eight counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of men who had ties to Toronto’s gay community.

All of the men went missing between 2010 and 2017.

Police say after examining around 100 properties in the GTA, police don’t have any evidence to suggest McArthur killed more people.

They are still looking at cold cases and missing persons cases and continue to receive tips from the public.
