A Mississauga, Ont., man charged in relation to a double fatal boat crash on Lake Ontario three years ago has been found not guilty of all charges.

On Tuesday, Superior Court Justice P. Tamara Sugunasiri acquitted Filip Grkovski, 41, on two counts of criminal negligence causing deaths, two counts of criminal negligence causing bodily harm, two counts of impaired operation causing death and two counts of impaired operation causing bodily harm.

Sugunasiri found that there was reasonable doubt as to who was driving the boat at the time of the crash.

It was May 31, 2022, when Grkovski’s motorized pleasure craft struck the rocks off Tommy Thompson Park near the Outer Harbour Marina causing the boat to flip over.

Megan Wu, 24, of Newmarket and Julio Abrantes, 34, of Richmond Hill drowned after their bodies were trapped under the vessel.
