For nearly three years, Elboy Pio says his suffering has been “unbearable.”
Pio, the brother of Elvie Sig-Od — a 44-year-old woman who was stabbed to death by her ex-husband in 2022 — told a downtown Toronto courtroom Monday through a victim impact statement that Godfrey Sig-Od’s actions ensured their world “changed forever.”
