Police in Ontario are continuing to investigate what exactly led to a series of slayings involving a woman they are calling an alleged “serial killer.”
Over a span of three days last week, three people were killed allegedly by the same suspect in three different incidents in Hamilton, Niagara Falls and Toronto.
