An Ontario police chief says the Toronto woman arrested by his force and accused of three murders in three days can be considered “a serial killer” after seemingly unrelated deaths were reported in Toronto, Niagara Falls and Hamilton.
On Friday, three Ontario police forces announced they had charged a 30-year-old Toronto woman with murder after two men and a woman were found dead over three days in different cities.
Police officers in the three southern Ontario cities had all been investigating homicides over the past three days, leading them to conclude the same Toronto woman may be behind the three killings.

The woman faces two first-degree murder charges and one count of second-degree murder.
