>> Adrienne: ON THIS TUESDAY
NIGHT A SERIAL KILLER ADMITS TO
HIS HEINOUS CRIMES.
>> IT'S ACTUALLY QUITE RELIEVING
BECAUSE WE HAVE AN ANSWER NOW.
>> Adrienne: A YEAR AFTER HIS
ARREST BRUCE McARTHUR PLEADS
GUILTY TO MURDERING EIGHT MEN.
>> JUST THINKING ABOUT THE LAST
MOMENTS OF THOSE MEN, I AM
HAUNTED BY THAT.
>> Adrienne: THE MARK THAT HIS
CRIMES LEFT ON THE FAMILIES,
THE POLICE, THE COMMUNITY.
>> IT'S STILL AN EMOTIONAL
STRUGGLE TO FORGIVE.
>> Ian: UNENDING GRIEF, ANGER,
BUT ALSO INCREDIBLE DISPLAYS OF
COMPASSION FOR THE DRIVER IN THE
HUMBOLDT CRASH.
THE EMOTIONAL TOLL OF HIS
SENTENCING HEARING.
>> Andrew: AND APPLE PRIDES
ITSELF ON PRIVACY BUT --
>> THIS IS WEIRD.
>> THIS IS NOT OKAY.
>> Andrew: HAS SOMEONE BEEN
LISTENING AND WATCHING YOU
THROUGH FACETIME WITHOUT YOU
KNOWING?
THE iPHONE GLITCH THAT LEFT A
CALLER EAVESDROP BEFORE YOU PICK
UP.
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
(*)
>> Adrienne: FOR YEARS MEMBERS
OF TORONTO'S GAY COMMUNITY
FEARED THEY WERE BEING HUNTED.
TODAY SERIAL KILLER BRUCE
McARTHUR REMOVED ALL DOUBT BY
CONFESSING TO HIS CRIME.
McARTHUR PLEADED GUILTY TO
KILLING EIGHT MEN, SOME OF WHOM
WERE NEW TO CANADA AND
VULNERABLE.
HIS CONVICTION CLOSES A LONG AND
DEEPLY DISTURBING CASE THAT
SHOCKED PEOPLE ACROSS CANADA AND
AROUND THE WORLD.
IOANNA ROUMELIOTIS WAS IN THAT
COURTROOM TODAY.
>> Reporter: THE TIMING WAS
GRIMLY APT.
A YEAR AGO POLICE LABELLED BRUCE
McARTHUR A SERIAL KILLER.
TODAY THEY WERE IN THE COURTROOM
TO HEAR HIM ADMIT IT.
>> WHAT HAPPENED TODAY WAS A
SURE THING, EIGHT PLEAS OF
FIRST-DEGREE MURDER FOR THE
EIGHT MURDERED MEN.
IT WASN'T, YOU KNOW, POSSIBLE
SECOND AND IT WASN'T
MANSLAUGHTER, IT WAS EIGHT
FIRST.
AND, YEAH, IT WAS SPARING THE
COMMUNITY AND SPARING MORE SO
THE FAMILY MEMBERS OF, YOU KNOW,
OF POTENTIALLY SEEING GRAPHIC
EVIDENCE TENDERED IN COURT.
>> Reporter: INSTEAD SOON
AFTER A STOOPED, SHUFFLING
McARTHUR ENTERED COURT.
A GLIMPSE, A SICKENING SENSE OF
HOW HE KILLED HIS VICTIMS.
THE COURT HEARD MOST OF THE
MURDERS WERE SEXUAL IN NATURE.
INCLUDING CONFINEMENT WITH
ROPES.
THAT THERE WAS USE OF A LIGATURE
IN SOME OF THE DEATHS.
DISTURBING TOO, EVIDENCE OF
STAGING OF HIS VICTIMS IN
PHOTOS.
AS THE CROWN READ OUT THE
DETAIL, McARTHUR STOOD
EXPRESSIONLESS WHILE THE FAMILY
MEMBERS AND THE FRIENDS OF THE
VICTIMS LOOKED ON, STONE FACED.
THEY AVOIDED THE MEDIA GLARE
LATER.
A COMMUNITY LEADER SPOKE FOR
SOME OF THEM.
>> IT'S REALLY TOUGH BECAUSE
SITTING AND LISTENING TO THE
FAMILIES SORT OF EXPLAIN THE
FACT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS
GOING ON OR THEY DON'T SEEM TO
UNDERSTAND FULLY WHAT'S
HAPPENING.
AND THE FACT THAT THEIR LOVED
ONE IS GONE.
AND IN SUCH A HORRIFIC WAY.
THAT WAS THE TOUGH PART.
>> Reporter: WHY McARTHUR
KILLED THE MEN IS STILL A
QUESTION, BUT THE COURT HEARD
TODAY THAT HE WAS VERY CAREFUL
IN HIS PLANNING.
POLICE FOUND A DUFFLE BAG IN HIS
APARTMENT CONTAINING DUCT TAPE,
A SURGICAL GLOVE AND A ROPE AND
BUNGEE CORD, ZIP TIES AND
SYRINGES.
AS WELL AS MOWMENTOS OF HIS
VICTIMS,
INCLUDING JEWELLERY.
POLICE ALSO FOUND VICTIMS'
D.N.A. AND A MURDER WEAPON IN
McARTHUR'S VAN.
HE HAD SOLD IT TO THIS AUTO
PARTS LOT.
STILL UNCLEAR WHERE McARTHUR
DISMEMBERED HIS VICTIMS BEFORE
HIDING THEIR REMAINS IN PLANTERS
AND IN A RAVINE BEHIND A HOUSE
WHERE HE STORED HIS LANDSCAPING
TOOLS.
KAREN FRASER'S HOME WAS A CRIME
SCENE FOR MONTHS.
IT FEELS SO PERSONAL.
>> HELLO.
>> Reporter: SHE MET TWO OF
THE VICTIMS, SKANDARAJ
NAVARTNAM AND MAJEED KAYHAN.
McARTHUR HAD BROUGHT THEM BY.
>> JUST THINKING ABOUT THE LAST
MOMENTS OF THOSE MEN, IT COMES
TO ME.
PARTICULARLY THE TWO THAT I
MET -- VERY BRIEFLY -- BUT I DID
MEET TWO OF THEM.
I'M HAUNTED BY THAT, YES, I AM
HAUNTED BY THAT.
>> Reporter: HAUNTED TOO BY
THE MAN THAT SHE THOUGHT THAT
SHE KNEW FOR NEARLY A DECADE.
>> I DON'T KNOW IF I BELIEVE IN
THE WORD "CLOSURE."
I THINK THAT POSSIBLY AN EASING
IS ALL YOU GET.
NOT FOR ME, CLOSURE WON'T
HAPPEN.
THE WAY THAT I'M TRYING TO LOOK
AT IT, THE MAN THAT I KNEW
ACTUALLY DIDN'T EXIST.
SO THAT'S THE BEST I CAN COME UP
WITH.
THIS IS SOMEONE ELSE ENTIRELY.
>> Adrienne: SO, IOANNA, IT'S
SO INTERESTING TO LISTEN TO
KAREN FRASER THERE.
I GATHER THAT SHE'S GOING TO BE
ABLE TO MAKE A
VICTIM IMPACT STATEMENT?
>> Reporter: YES, SHE IS AND
SHE PLANS TO.
THERE'S ABOUT 20 OTHER VICTIM
IMPACT STATEMENTS
EXPECTED AND SOME FAMILIES SAID
THEY DON'T WANT TO BE THERE WHEN
THE CROWN REVEALS MORE
INFORMATION.
>> Adrienne: WHEN YOU WERE
THERE TODAY WHERE STRUCK YOU THE
MOST WITH THAT MOMENT?
>> Reporter: THE FACT THAT THE
FAMILIES REMAIN PRIVATE.
THAT THE POLICE ARE FRONT AND
CENTRE.
THERE WAS ABOUT A DOZEN OF THEM
IN ATTENDANCE IN COURT AND IT
KIND OF SPEAKS TO THE FACT THAT
THIS INVESTIGATION SPANNED
NEARLY A DECADE.
THERE WAS SO MUCH INVESTMENT PUT
IN BY THE POLICE BEFORE THEY
FINALLY CRACKED THE CASE.
SO IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT FOR
THEM, THEY TOLD US AFTER, FOR
ALL OF THEM TO BE THERE.
THOUGH THEY DIDN'T ALL SPEAK TO
THE CAMERA YOU SAW THEM STANDING
BEHIND AND FLANKING THE OFFICERS
THAT DID.
>> Adrienne: IOANNA, THANK YOU
VERY MUCH.
NOW McARTHUR'S CONVICTION
OBVIOUSLY HAS GREAT MEANING FOR
THE VICTIMS' LOVED ONES, BUT AS
IOANNA SAID THIS HAS BEEN A LONG
AND COMPLICATED SAGA.
AND NOT EVERYONE IS BREATHING
EASY JUST YET.
SOME ARE REALLY FRUSTRATED THAT
IT TOOK AS LONG AS IT DID TO GET
A SERIAL KILLER OFF THE STREETS.
JACQUELINE HANSEN WENT TO THE
GAY
COMMUNITY FOR REACTION ON THE
CONVICTION AND THEIR
RELATIONSHIP WITH POLICE.
>> Reporter: FOR DECADES THE
VILLAGE HAS BEEN A HUB AND A
HAVEN FOR THE LGTQ COMMUNITY.
MANY WHO ARE BREATHING A SIGH OF
RELIEF.
>> I'M GLAD THAT HE DOESN'T HAVE
TO PUT US THROUGH A WHOLE SERIES
WHERE I'M SURE THAT IT WILL BE
UPSETTING FOR SO MANY PEOPLE.
>> Reporter: BUT THERE'S STILL
UNANSWERED QUESTIONS.
>> I'M LESS CURIOUS WHY HE DID
WHAT HE DID.
AND I'M MORE CURIOUS HOW IT
HAPPENED FOR SO LONG AND HOW,
YOU KNOW, THE COMMUNITY KNEW
THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING BEFORE
THE POLICE, LIKE, ALERTED US.
>> Reporter: FOR YEARS PEOPLE
LOOKED OUT FOR EACH OTHER,
CONVINCED THAT A SERIAL KILLER
WAS PREYING ON GAY MEN IN THE
AREA.
LONG BEFORE POLICE ARRESTED
McARTHUR.
>> BRUCE McARTHUR IS A
FLASHPOINT FOR THE TORONTO
POLICE'S MISHANDLING OF THE GAY
COMMUNITY IN TORONTO.
>> Reporter: THIS WRITER
FOLLOWED THE CASE CLOSELY.
HE'S WORRIED
WITHOUT McARTHUR IN THE
SPOTLIGHT THAT PRESSURE WILL BE
OFF POLICE TO PAY ATTENTION TO
THE COMMUNITY'S CONCERNS.
>> AS GREAT AS IT IS TO HAVE
THIS CASE IN SOME SENSE CLOSED,
I WONDER HOW MANY CASES ARE NOW
JUST GOING TO VANISH OFF
PEOPLE'S DESKS.
AND THESE SYSTEMIC STRUCTURES
THAT ALLOWED SOMEONE LIKE BRUCE
McARTHUR TO OPERATE ARE STILL
IN PLACE.
>> Reporter: SOME CHANGES HAVE
BEEN MADE.
IN JULY POLICE LAUNCHED A NEW
MISSING PERSON'S UNIT, A REVIEW
INTO HOW MISSING PERSON'S CASES
ARE HANDLED IS UNDERWAY, WITH AN
INDEPENDENT COMMITTEE REVIEWING
WHETHER THERE WAS SYSTEMIC BIAS
OR DISCRIMINATION BY THE TORONTO
POLICE.
PROCESSING WHAT McARTHUR DID
WILL STILL BE A LONG JOURNEY FOR
MANY.
BOB WATKIN WORKED AT A BAR WHERE
McARTHUR AND SOME OF HIS
VICTIMS WERE REGULARS.
>> I'M HAUNTED BY IT, THAT HE
WAS THERE AND HE MET A LOT OF
THOSE GUYS THERE AND KNEW THEM
FROM THERE AND IT WAS HAPPENING
IN FRONT OF ME AND AROUND ME AND
IT'S HAUNTING.
>> Reporter: FOR WATKIN AND
OTHERS, TODAY DID NOT BRING
CLOSURE.
FOR SOMETHING THIS
UNPRECEDENTED, THIS PAINFUL ON
SO MANY LEVELS, CLOSURE, SOME
SAY, MAY NEVER BE POSSIBLE.
JACQUELINE HANSEN, CBC NEWS,
TORONTO.
>> Adrienne: STAY WITH US FOR
MORE ON THE McARTHUR STORY
TONIGHT.
LATER IN THE PROGRAMME IOANNA
WALKS US THROUGH McARTHUR'S
LIFE AND CRIMES AND HIS FINAL
CAPTURE BY POLICE.
IT WAS OBVIOUSLY AN EMOTIONAL
DAY IN THE COURTS IN THE
PRAIRIES, IAN?
>> Ian: THEY STOOD BEFORE THE
MAN RESPONSIBLE AND TOLD HIM
EXACTLY HOW THEY FEEL.
SOME EXPRESSED ANGER, OTHERS
PERHAPS INCREDIBLY OFFERING
FORGIVENESS.
IT WAS PAINFUL FOR EVERYONE IN
THAT MAKESHIFT COURTROOM.
SUSAN ORMISTON HAS BEEN ON THE
STORY FROM THE START AND SHE'S
IN MELFORT, SASKATCHEWAN, TO
HEAR THEIR STORY.
>> Reporter: JASKIRAT SINGH
SIDHU, FLANKED BY HIS LAWYERS,
HAS BEEN SILENCED FOR TWO DAYS.
IN COURT LOOKING UP AS FAMILIES
POUR OUT THEIR GRIEF INDIRECTLY
AT HIM.
THE JOSEPH'S YOUNGEST SON,
JAXON, WAS THROWN FROM THE BUS
LAST APRIL 6th.
IN HER STATEMENT ANDREA WEPT AS
SHE SPILLED OUT HER ANGER AT
SIDHU.
"YOU BROKE MY BABY'S NECK AND
PUNCTURED BOTH HIS PRECIOUS
LUNGS, GIVING JAXON NO CHANCE AT
ALL
FOR SURVIVAL.
I DESPISE YOU FOR TAKING OUR
BABY AWAY FROM US."
>> WHEN YOU CAN'T HELP YOUR
CHILD AND YOU CAN'T PROTECT THEM
AND HOLD THEM, THE ONLY WAY THAT
I CAN
HELP IS BY FIGHTING AND STICKING
UP FOR WHAT'S RIGHT.
>> Reporter: THEY URGED THE
COURT TO SEND A SIGNIFICANT
MESSAGE AS DETERRENCE.
>> I FEEL LIKE WHATEVER THE
SENTENCE IS WE'RE GOING TO BE
DISAPPOINTED.
IF IT WERE 14 YEARS WE'RE GOING
TO BE DISAPPOINTED.
I THINK THAT THE ONLY THING THAT
WOULD LEAVE US NOT DISAPPOINTED
WOULD BE SOMETHING NEW,
SOMETHING DIFFERENT, SOMETHING
THAT SET PRECEDENT.
>> Reporter: THIS COURT IN A
GYM IS THE STAGE FOR SUCH RAW
EMOTION, A SEE-SAW BETWEEN RAGE
AND FORGIVENESS.
AS A BILLET PARENT, PAUL
JEFFERSON HOSTED 18 ADOPTED
HOCKEY PLAYERS OVER THE YEARS,
INCLUDING PARKER TOBIN WHO WAS
THOUGHT TO HAVE SURVIVED THE
CRASH BUT WAS ACTUALLY AMONG THE
DEAD.
>> HE PLED GUILTY.
IT WAS EASIER FOR ME TO SAY I
FORGIVE BUT IT'S STILL AN
EMOTIONAL STRUGGLE TO FORGIVE.
BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT GRIEF IS A
JOURNEY AND I NEED TO FORGIVE TO
MOVE ON IN THAT JOURNEY.
>> Reporter: PRESSURE IS
GROWING FOR MORE ANSWERS.
BY THE TIME OF THE CRASH SIDHU
HAD 70 LOGBOOK ERRORS, MOSTLY
BOOKKEEPING, BUT A SIGN FOR SOME
THAT HE WASN'T WELL ENOUGH
TRAINED FOR THE JOB.
>> CLEARLY HE WASN'T FILLING OUT
HIS LOGBOOKS AND CLEARLY HE WAS
LOST AND HAD NO IDEA WHERE HE
WAS IN HIS WORLD.
WITH HIS BOSS IN HIS EAR SAYING
THAT HE BETTER GET HIS ASS IN
GEAR BECAUSE HE WAS RUNNING
BEHIND.
>> Reporter: SIDHU'S LEGAL
TEAM WILL GIVE SENTENCING
ARGUMENTS LATER THIS WEEK AT THE
END OF THE VICTIM IMPACT
STATEMENTS.
CLEARLY, TAKING A TOLL ON
EVERYONE.
>> Ian: SUSAN, IT'S HARD FOR US
TO IMAGINE JUST HOW DIFFICULT
IT'S BEEN FOR EVERYONE IN THAT
ROOM AND THERE'S STILL MORE TO
COME.
>> Reporter: YEAH.
THIS COURT HAS HEARD OVER 70
STIRRING VICTIM IMPACT
STATEMENTS AND THERE ARE 16 MORE
COMING UP TOMORROW.
YOU KNOW, THE PARENTS DREADED
THIS, GETTING UP HERE AND GOING
THROUGH THE TRAUMA AGAIN BUT
THEY SEEMED QUITE RELIEVED ONCE
THIS PART IS OVER.
NEXT THE PROSECUTION AND THE
DEFENCE TEAMS WILL BOTH DELIVER
THEIR SENTENCING ARGUMENTS, THE
MITIGATING OR THE AGGRAVATING
FACTORS THAT WENT INTO THAT
DRIVE LAST APRIL 6th.
WE MAY LEARN A LITTLE BIT MORE
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED, WHY, IN
FACT, HE DIDN'T STOP.
SIDHU WILL BE ASKED WHETHER HE
WANTS TO ADDRESS THE COURT
EITHER DIRECTLY HERE OR IN A
STATEMENT AND WE DON'T KNOW
WHETHER THAT WILL HAPPEN OR NOT.
>> Ian: SUSAN ORMISTON, THANK
YOU.
>> Andrew: A 30-DAY CLOCK IS
NOW TICKING FOR OTTAWA.
THE U.S. HAS ISSUED A FORMAL
REQUEST FOR THE EXTRADITION OF A
CHINESE TECH EXECUTIVE.
AND CANADA HAS TO ANSWER AS
CHINA WATCHES.
>> SHE HAS DEEP RESPECT FOR THE
COURT AND LOOKS FORWARD TO
DEALING WITH THE CANADIAN
JUDICIARIY IN DUE COURSE.
>> Question: 14 CHARGES BY THE
AMERICANS, SHE MUST BE SCARED?
>> SHE IS CONFIDENT IN HER
INNOCENCE AND IN THE JUSTICE
SYSTEM.
>> Andrew: MENG WANZHOU LET
HER LAWYER DO THE TALKING AS SHE
MADE A BRIEF APPEARANCE IN A
VANCOUVER COURT.
WHAT SHE'S ULTIMATELY WAITING
FOR IS
HER EXTRADITION HEARING.
YESTERDAY U.S. AUTHORITIES LAID
OUT THEIR CASE AGAINST MENG AND
HER COMPANY, HUAWEI, WITH A LONG
LIST OF CHARGES, INCLUDING FRAUD
AND CONSPIRACY.
AND THOSE CHARGES IN WRITING
RAISE SERIOUS NEW QUESTIONS
ABOUT CHINA'S AGGRESSIVE POSTURE
ON THE WORLD STAGE AND TO PUT IT
SIMPLY, WHETHER HUAWEI CAN BE
TRUSTED.
THE SECURITY CONCERNS ARE REAL.
AND AS KATIE SIMPSON EXPLAINS,
SO IS THE GROWING PRESSURE ON
CANADA TO ACT.
>> Reporter: LEADERS OF
AMERICA'S NATIONAL SECURITY
AGENCIES WERE SUMMONED TO
CAPITOL HILL TO OUTLINE THE
BIGGEST THREATS FACING THE U.S.
TODAY.
ON THAT LIST... CHINA AND ITS
TELECOM GIANT HUAWEI.
>> THEY HAVE TO DECIDE THEY'RE
EITHER GOING TO BE A WORLDWIDE
TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANY OR AN
AGENT OF THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT.
THEY CAN'T BE BOTH.
>> THE CHINESE
COUNTERINTELLIGENCE THREAT IS
MORE DEEP, MORE DIVERSE, MORE
VEXING, MORE CHALLENGING, MORE
COMPREHENSIVE, AND MORE
CONCERNING THAN ANY
COUNTERINTELLIGENCE THREAT THAT
I CAN THINK OF.
>> Reporter: THE U.S. HAS
ALREADY BANNED HUAWEI FROM BEING
PART OF ITS 5G NETWORK.
THE WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY WILL
ALLOW MORE INFORMATION TO MOVE
FASTER, BUT THE FEAR IS THAT THE
CHINESE GOVERNMENT WILL USE THE
COMPANY'S TECHNOLOGY TO SPY.
>> THE U.S., AUSTRALIA, NEW
ZEALAND AND JAPAN HAVE BANNED
HUAWEI.
THE U.S. HAS THREATENED TO
WITHDRAW INTELLIGENCE SHARING IF
CANADA DOESN'T DO THE SAME.
WHEN WILL THIS PRIME MINISTER
BAN HUAWEI?
>> Reporter: THE PUBLIC SAFETY
MINISTER SAYS THAT HE NEEDS MORE
TIME TO DECIDE.
>> The Hon. Ralph Goodale:
THERE ARE ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE
RESOLVED.
AND WE WILL -- NOT TELESCOPE THE
DECISIONMAKING PROCESS.
>> HAPPY TO GUARD YOUR
SECRETS...
>> Reporter: HUAWEI HAS AN
ESTABLISHED PRESENCE IN THIS
COUNTRY WITH ADS ON "HOCKEY
NIGHT IN CANADA" AND
PARTNERSHIPS WITH NEARLY HALF A
DOZEN CANADIAN UNIVERSITIES.
THE COMPANY ADAMANTLY DENIES
THAT IT'S A CONDUIT FOR SPYING.
>> I'M NOT GOING TO OWN A HUAWEI
PHONE.
I'M NOT SURE THAT WE SHOULD HAVE
THEM IN OUR 5G NETWORK EITHER.
>> Reporter: THIS FORMER
DIRECTOR OF CANADA'S SPY AGENCY
SAYS THAT OTTAWA SHOULD BLOCK
HUAWEI, DESPITE THREATS OF
RETALIATION FROM BEIJING.
>> THE BIGGER CHALLENGE WILL BE
TO WHAT EXTENT THE CHINESE ARE
IRRITATED BY OUR DECISION TO BAN
HUAWEI EQUIPMENT WOULD -- WOULD
TAKE RETRIBUTION.
>> Reporter: THE HUAWEI
DECISION IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF
CANADA'S GLOBAL DILEMMA.
BANNING THE COMPANY MEANS OTTAWA
SIDES WITH ITS TRADITIONAL ALLY
IN WASHINGTON BUT SETTLES ANY
HOPE OF NEW OPPORTUNITY IN
BEIJING WHILE WORSENING ALREADY
STRAINED DIPLOMATIC TIES.
KATIE SIMPSON, CBC NEWS, OTTAWA.
>> Adrienne: AS THE UNITED
KINGDOM STUMBLES TOWARDS BREXIT,
THERESA MAY IT SEEMS IS HEADED
BACK TO THE E.U. TO RENEGOTIATE
THE DIVORCE AGREEMENT.
CRITICS SAY THAT IT'S JUST A
WASTE OF TIME.
AND AS THOMAS DAIGLE EXPLAINS,
THERESA MAY DOESN'T HAVE A LOT
OF TIME.
>> Reporter: IN THE BRITISH
PARLIAMENT THEY'RE STILL WORKING
TO FIX THE BREXIT DEADLOCK.
IT SURE LOOKS LIKE THERE'S NO
PROGRESS.
BUT TODAY THE PRIME MINISTER
FINALLY OFFERED SOMETHING NEW.
>> A SIGNIFICANT AND LEGALLY
BINDING CHANGE TO THE WITHDRAW
AGREEMENT.
>> Reporter: YES, A PLAN TO
RE-OPEN DIVORCE TALKS IN A BID
TO CHANGE THE SO-CALLED
BACKSTOP.
THAT'S THE INSURANCE POLICY TO
AVOID A HARD BORDER WITH E.U.
MEMBER, IRELAND.
>> REJECTING THE BACKSTOP MEANS
NO DEAL.
DOES SHE STILL AGREE WITH
HERSELF?
[laughter]
>> Reporter: WITH EXACTLY TWO
MONTHS UNTIL BRITAIN'S SCHEDULED
E.U. EXIT, IT EVEN SOUNDS LIKE
THERESA MAY IS NOW CONSIDERING A
DELAY.
>> IS SHE RULING OUT ANY
EXTENSION OF ARTICLE 50?
>> THE AMENDMENT DOES NOT RULE
OUT ANY DEAL.
IT SIMPLY DELAYS THE POINT OF
DECISION.
>> Reporter: THE GOVERNMENT IS
PARALYSED OVER BREXIT BUT WHAT
ABOUT THE WORLD OUTSIDE OF THIS
BUBBLE?
HOW ARE THESE TRICKY TERMS LIKE
"BACKSTOP" AND "ARTICLE 50"
RESONATING WITH PEOPLE HERE WHO
AREN'T POLITICIANS?
CAN I GET YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT
BREXIT?
YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT BREXIT?
CAN I GET YOUR THOUGHTS ON
BREXIT?
LONDONERS IT SEEMS ARE TIRED OF
TALKING ABOUT BREXIT.
>> IT'S JUST A MESS.
IT'S SUCH A MESS.
>> Reporter: THAT SEEMS TO BE
THE THING THAT IS HOLDING UP THE
DEAL RIGHT NOW.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO YOU,
BACKSTOP?
>> IT DOESN'T REALLY MEAN THAT
MUCH TO ME.
>> NOT MUCH.
>> Reporter: WHAT ABOUT THIS?
IF THEY TALK ABOUT ARTICLE 50,
DOES THAT MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?
>> MMM... I SHOULD KNOW BUT NOT
REALLY.
>> Reporter: THAT'S THE
PROCESS TO LEAVE THE E.U.
M.P.s TONIGHT VOTED TO REJECT
A NO-DEAL BREXIT BUT IT'S NOT
BINDING.
THEY ALSO VOTED TO SUPPORT
CHANGES TO THAT BACKSTOP WITHOUT
SUGGESTING AN ALTERNATIVE.
>> THERE IS LIMITED APPETITE FOR
SUCH A CHANGE IN THE E.U. AND
NEGOTIATING IT WILL NOT BE EASY.
[Interjections]
>> Reporter: IN FACT, THE E.U.
SAYS IT WON'T RENEGOTIATE, SO
NOTHING IS FIXED YET.
THOMAS DAIGLE, CBC NEWS, LONDON.
>> Ian: I LOVE THOSE SIGNS.
HERE'S SOME OF THE
DEVELOPING STORIES THAT WE'RE
WATCHING TONIGHT ON "THE
NATIONAL"...
>>> MUCH OF THE UNITED STATES IS
IN THE GRIP OF A POLAR VORTEX
TONIGHT.
TEMPERATURES PLUNGED AS LOW
AS -50° CELSIUS IN SOME AREAS.
STATES OF EMERGENCY HAVE BEEN
DECLARED IN WISCONSIN AND
MICHIGAN AND ILLINOIS, AND EVEN
FURTHER SOUTH.
AND AS COLD AS IT IS NOW, THE
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO
DIVE EVEN FURTHER OVER THE NEXT
FEW HOURS.
FORECASTERS ARE PREDICTING THAT
CHICAGO COULD BE COLDER THAN
ANTARCTICA.
PARTS OF CANADA ARE DEALING WITH
OUR OWN NASTY BLAST OF WINTER.
IN TORONTO PEOPLE ARE STILL
DIGGING OUT AFTER THAT BIG STORM
DUMPED ABOUT 32 cm OF SNOW,
MORE THAN THE CITY HAS SEEN IN
10 YEARS.
AND NOW IT'S EXPECTED TO GET
EXTREMELY COLD IN TORONTO AND
NORTHERN ONTARIO.
THE TEMPERATURES ALREADY FRIGID
IN SASKATCHEWAN AND MANITOBA.
IN SHOULD CASES IT'S AS COLD
AS -30° AND FEELING MORE
LIKE -45°, THAT'S THE WIND
CHILL.
THE EXTREME COLD IS EXPECTED TO
LAST THROUGH TO THURSDAY.
(*)
>>> ACTOR JUSSIE SMOLLETT WHO
STARS IN THE TV SHOW "EMPIRE"
SAY THAT HE WAS ATTACKED
ON A CHICAGO STREET IN WHAT
POLICE CALL A POSSIBLE HATE
CRIME.
POLICE SAY THAT THIS MORNING TWO
PEOPLE YELLED RACIAL AND
HOMOPHOBIC SLURS.
SMOLLETT SAYS THEY HIT HIM IN
THE FACE, POURED SOME KIND OF
SUBSTANCE ON HIM, AND WRAPPED
A ROPE AROUND HIS NECK BEFORE
THEY FLED.
HE WENT TO THE HOSPITAL WHERE
HIS CONDITION WAS DESCRIBED AS
"GOOD."
POLICE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR
SUSPECTS.
>> Adrienne: STILL AHEAD ON
"THE NATIONAL"... SEARCHING FOR
A NEW NORMAL.
TWO YEARS AFTER TRAGEDY, WE HEAR
FROM A SURVIVOR OF THE QUÉBEC
CITY MOSQUE ATTACK.
>> Ian: AND LATER... MANITOBA'S
EXTREME COLD LEADS TO AN UNUSUAL
SPRING-LIKE DISCOVERY.
WE'LL EXPLAIN IN OUR "MOMENT OF
THE DAY."
>> Andrew: BUT FIRST, CALLING
ALL FACETIME USERS.
WHAT IS BEHIND THE APPLE GLITCH
THAT'S ALLOWED POTENTIALLY
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE TO LISTEN IN
ON EACH OTHER'S PRIVATE
CONVERSATIONS.
>> I HEAR THE PHONE RING.
AND OUR PHONE ANSWERS.
>> HELLO.
>> WHAT'S
(*)
>> Andrew: OKAY, SO APPLE
PRIDES ITSELF ON PRIVACY.
THEY SAY THAT IT'S BUILT INTO
EVERY PRODUCT.
BUT A MAJOR GLITCH IN THE
FACETIME APP HAS MEANT A CALLER
COULD HAVE BEEN EAVESDROPPING ON
YOU WITHOUT YOU EVEN PICKING UP
THE PHONE.
IT'S HARD TO UNDERSCORE JUST HOW
BIG A PROBLEM THAT IS FOR
PRIVACY.
BUT FOR APPLE TOO AND FOR A FEW
REASONS.
DAVID COMMON TAKES US THROUGH
THEM AND IF YOU'RE WONDERING HOW
TO FIX THE PROBLEM YOURSELF,
KEEP WATCHING.
>> Reporter: JUST WEEKS AGO
APPLE WAS TROLLING ITS EMBATTLED
BIG TECH COUNTERPARTS AND
CLAIMING THE MANTLE OF PRIVACY
PROTECTION.
TURNS OUT THEY'VE GOT A PROBLEM
TOO.
HEY, EVERYBODY.
>> HEY...
>> Reporter: APPLE HAS NOW
DISABLED GROUP CALLS ON ITS
FACETIME
VIDEOCHAT APP.
FOR MORE THAN A BILLION DEVICES
WORLDWIDE.
>> SO IF YOU WANT TO TRY THIS
OUT FOR YOURSELF
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TO MAKE A
FACETIME CALL.
>> Reporter: ALL BECAUSE
CALLING A
FRIEND AND THEN CALLING YOURSELF
MEANT THAT YOU COULD HEAR YOUR
FRIEND'S AUDIO, SOMETIMES VIDEO
TOO, EVEN IF THEY DIDN'T ANSWER.
>> THIS IS NOT OKAY.
>> THIS IS SO WEIRD.
>> Reporter: WHAT DOES IT MEAN
THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO APPLE,
OF ALL COMPANIES?
>> APPLE IS ONE OF THE BEST
COMPANIES IN TERMS OF BEING
RIGOROUS ABOUT PROTECTING THE
PRIVACY OF ITS CUSTOMERS.
SO IT IS TELLING THAT THIS HAS
HAPPENED TO APPLE.
>> Reporter: ANDREW CLEMENT IS
A PROFESSOR OF INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY.
APPLE IS OFTEN THOUGHT OF AS THE
GOOD GUY WHEN IT COMES TO
PRIVACY.
WHY IS THAT COMPARED TO THE
OTHERS?
>> WELL, COMPARED TO GOOGLE AND
FACEBOOK, WHOSE BUSINESS MODELS
DEPEND ON MONETIZING PERSONAL
INFORMATION, APPLE DOESN'T
DEPEND ON THAT SO MUCH.
>> Reporter: AN ACTUAL FIX IS
COMING, BUT UNTIL IT DOES MANY
TECH EXPERTS SUGGEST DISABLING
FACETIME COMPLETELY.
HERE'S HOW YOU DO IT.
GO FIRST TO YOUR SETTINGS AND
THEN SCROLL DOWN ALL THE WAY TO
FACETIME.
AND THEN TURN IT OFF.
IT'S ALL A BIT HUMBLING FOR
APPLE.
AFTER MONTHS OF WATCHING
FACEBOOK GETTING GRILLED OVER
PRIVACY CONCERNS AND SOME OF
THAT RUBBING OFF ON GOOGLE, NOW
IT'S APPLE IN THAT UNCOMFORTABLE
SPOTLIGHT.
ANDREW?
>> Andrew: DAVID COMMON
REPORTING FROM HIS iPHONE
TONIGHT.
>> Ian: STILL AHEAD ON "THE
NATIONAL"... IT WAS A HIGH
OF -30° IN WINNIPEG TODAY, NOT
EXACTLY BALMY.
AND NOT WHERE YOU EXPECT TO FIND
AN INSECT ALIVE IN THE SNOW.
BUT ONE FAMILY DID AND THEIR
RESCUE MISSION IS TONIGHT'S
"MOMENT."
>> Adrienne: AND UP NEXT...
CASE CLOSED.
ONE YEAR AFTER HIS ARREST BRUCE
McARTHUR PLEADS GUILTY BUT
THIS MAY NOT END THE ANXIETY.
>> I THINK THAT THE PART THAT
WAS REALLY KILLING OUR COMMUNITY
THE MOST WAS THE UNKNOWING AND
THE APPARENT -- WELL, IT WASN'T
EVEN APPARENT, IT WAS THE
PERCEIVED LACK OF CARE FROM
TORONTO POLICE SERVICES.
(*)
>> Ian: HERE'S SOME OF THE OTHER
STORIES THAT WE'RE WATCHING
TONIGHT ON "THE NATIONAL"...
>>> THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS
WARNING CANADIANS IN VENEZUELA
TO BE EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS OVER
THE NEXT FEW DAYS BECAUSE OF THE
POTENTIAL FOR VIOLENT PROTESTS.
THE CONDITIONS ARE SO
POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS THAT
THE CANADIAN EMBASSY IN CARACAS
WILL BE CLOSED TOMORROW.
CANADA IS ONE OF THE COUNTRIES
THAT JOINED THE UNITED STATES IN
SUPPORTING JUAN GUIADÓ TO
REPLACE THE PRESIDENT NICOLÁS
MADURO.
AND A CRITIC OF MADURO'S IS
BEING
OFFERED HELP FROM THE GOVERNMENT
OF CANADA.
COLONEL POLOMO WAS CAPTURED
BY PRO-GOVERNMENT FORCES IN
VENEZUELA.
THEY SAY THAT POLOMO'S CASE WILL
BE BROUGHT UP NEXT WEEK WHEN
CANADA HOSTS MEMBERS OF THE LIMA
GROUP TO DISCUSS THE CRISIS IN
VENEZUELA.
AND A PAKISTANI WOMAN RELEASED
FROM DEATH ROW COULD COME TO
CANADA.
SHE'S A CHRISTIAN WHO WAS
SENTENCED TO DEATH EIGHT YEARS
AGO FOR BLAST THEME AFTER
INSULTING THE PROPHET MOHAMMED.
HER CONVICTION WAS OVERTURNED
AND TODAY PAKISTAN'S TOP COURT
REJECTED A CHALLENGE TO HER
ACQUITTAL.
SINCE HER RELEASE SHE AND HER
FAMILY HAVE FACED THREATS.
OTTAWA SAYS THAT TALKING ARE
TAKING PLACE WITH THE PAKISTANI
GOVERNMENT TO BRING HER TO
CANADA.
>> Adrienne: WE WANT TO RETURN
TO OUR TOP STORY -- TODAY'S
CONVICTION OF SERIAL KILLER
BRUCE McARTHUR.
UNDERSTANDABLY THERE'S RELIEF
THAT THERE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A
TRIAL BUT IT'S NOT CLEAR TO SOME
THAT THE STORY IS OVER.
HAVE ALL OF THE VICTIMS REALLY
BEEN FOUND?
IOANNA ROUMELIOTIS HAS CLOSELY
TRACKED THE McARTHUR SAGA FOR
THE LAST YEAR.
TONIGHT SHE
CHARTS HIS LIFE AND CRIMES AND
HOW POLICE FINALLY CAUGHT HIM.
(*)
>> IT'S A SERIAL KILLER, ALLEGED
SERIAL KILLER.
>> Reporter: THE INVESTIGATION
INTO BRUCE McARTHUR IS
UNPRECEDENTED.
>> WE'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING
QUITE LIKE THIS.
>> Reporter: UNIMAGINABLE.
>> THE BODIES ARE FROM LARGE
PLANTERS.
>> Reporter: UNRELENTING.
>> I WOULD SAY IT'S GOING TO GO
INTO THE YEARS.
>> Reporter: FROM SMALL TOWN
OBSCURITY TO BIG CITY INFAMY,
THE ROAD IS HARDLY OBVIOUS.
WOODVILLE, ONTARIO, IS THE QUIET
FARMING COMMUNITY WHERE BRUCE
McARTHUR GREW UP.
WHERE IN THE 1950s HE ATTENDED
A ONE-ROOM SCHOOLHOUSE NOW
REFURBISHED INTO A HOME.
RONALD MacEACHERN WAS IN HIS
WORKSHOP WHEN HE HEARD THE NEWS
ABOUT HIS FORMER CLASSMATE.
>> YOU GREW UP WITH THE GUY AND
IT FREAKS YOU OUT.
>> Reporter: BACK THEN
MacEACHERN SAYS THAT BRUCE
McARTHUR WAS THE KID WHO NEVER
GOT INTO TROUBLE.
>> I JUST REMEMBER HIM BEING A
TATTLE-TALE TO THE TEACHER,
THAT'S ALL I CAN REMEMBER OF
HIM.
YOU JUST CAN'T IMAGINE HIM DOING
SOMETHING LIKE THAT BECAUSE HE
WOULDN'T GET INTO TROUBLE AT
SCHOOL WITH US WHEN WE WERE
DOING STUFF THAT WE SHOULDN'T BE
BE.
>> Reporter: POLICE HAVE
SPOKEN TO MacEACHERN AND
OTHERS FROM McARTHUR'S PAST TO
TRACE THE LIFE TRAJECTORY OF AN
ACCUSED SERIAL KILLER.
IT CONTINUED HERE.
IN THE 1960s, McARTHUR GOES
TO HIGH SCHOOL IN NEARBY FENELON
FALLS.
IT'S WHERE HE MEETS HIS FUTURE
WIFE.
SOON AFTER THEY GRADUATE IN
1970, THEY LEAVE THE AREA.
IT'S NOT CLEAR WHERE THE
McARTHURS GO, BUT BY THE
MID-1980s THEY SETTLE INTO A
SUBURBAN HOME IN OSHAWA AND
RAISE A DAUGHTER AND SON.
THOSE DECADES ARE NOW UNDER
INTENSE POLICE SCRUTINY FOR THE
GRIM REASON THAT MOST SERIAL
KILLERS BEGIN KILLING WHEN
THEY'RE YOUNG.
DETECTIVE SERGEANT HANK IDSINGA
IS IN CHARGE OF THE
INVESTIGATION.
>> WE'RE LOOKING AT OCCURRENCES
FROM THE 1970s WHERE HE WOULD
HAVE BEEN IN HIS MID 20s,
MID-TO-LATE 20s.
YOU KNOW, AS A GENERALITY, YOU
COULD SAY THAT PEOPLE DON'T
START THIS WHEN THEY'RE IN THEIR
60s.
WE ARE DEFINITELY LOOKING, YES.
>> Reporter: THE LATE 1990s
AND THE EARLY 2000s IS WHEN
McARTHUR'S PAST LIFE AS A
SUBURBAN HUSBAND AND FATHER
STARTS TO UNRAVEL.
McARTHUR DECLARES BANKRUPTCY.
HIS MARRIAGE FALLS APART.
SHORTLY AFTER HE BECOMES A
REGULAR IN TORONTO'S GAY VILLAGE
AND MOVES INTO AN APARTMENT IN
THE CITY.
THE DARK SIDE EMERGES.
IN 2001, McARTHUR IS CHARGED
WITH ASSAULT AFTER ATTACKING A
MAN WITH AN IRON PIPE.
HE TURNS HIMSELF IN.
AT HIS SENTENCING HEARING TWO
YEARS LATER THE COURT HEARS THAT
HE SUFFERS FROM DEPRESSION.
McARTHUR TELLS THE JUDGE THAT
HIS LIFE HAS BEEN "KIND OF A
MESS NOT KNOWING WHAT'S GOING TO
HAPPEN AND WHAT HAPPENED TO ME.
McARTHUR DOESN'T GO TO JAIL
BUT THE
CONDITIONS OF HIS RELEASE ARE TO
STAY AWAY FROM THE GAY VILLAGE
FOR TWO YEARS.
THE JUDGE'S PARTING REMARKS NOW
SEEM CHILLING.
"IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE YOU'RE A
PRETTY GOOD PERSON AND IT SOUNDS
TO ME LIKE YOU'RE NOT GOING TO
BE BACK HERE ANYWAY."
OF COURSE, McARTHUR WOULD BE
BACK IN COURT BUT ONLY YEARS
AFTER HIS FIRST ALLEGED VICTIM
WENT MISSING.
YEARS AFTER RUMOURS STARTED
SWIRLING THAT A SERIAL KILLER
WAS STALKING THE GAY VILLAGE.
SEPTEMBER 2010.
THE DISAPPEARANCES BEGIN.
FIRST, SKANDA NAVARATNAM.
THEN ABDULBASIR FAIZI.
TWO YEARS LATER MAJEED KAYHAN.
POLICE SET UP A TASK FORCE
"PROJECT HOUSTON" TO FIND ANY
LINKS BETWEEN THE MISSING MEN.
THEY FIND NONE.
BUT McARTHUR IS HIDING IN
PLAIN SIGHT.
HE EVEN GETS QUESTIONED BY
POLICE FOR AN UNRELATED MATTER,
REPORTEDLY AN ALLEGED ASSAULT.
MEANWHILE THE DISAPPEARANCES
CONTINUE.
IN 2015, SOROUSH MAHMUDI IS
REPORTED MISSING BY HIS FAMILY.
IN APRIL 2017, SELIM ESEN
DISAPPEARS.
A COUPLE MONTHS LATER SO DOES
ANDREW KINSMAN.
POLICE CREATE ANOTHER TASK FORCE
"PROJECT PRISM."
AGAIN, IT ENDS WITH NO HARD
PROOF AND NO TALK OF A SERIAL
KILLER.
>> WE'RE HUMAN BEINGS.
OF COURSE, ARE WE THINKING THAT
IS A POSSIBILITY?
YES, IT'S A POSSIBILITY.
BUT IT WOULD BE RECKLESS OF ME
TO
COME OUT AND SAY PERHAPS THAT
THERE'S A SERIAL KILLER UNLESS I
HAVE EVIDENCE THAT THERE IS A
SERIAL KILLER.
>> Reporter: NO EVIDENCE BUT
POLICE ARE INCREASINGLY
SUSPICIOUS.
AND WHAT THEY DON'T SAY PUBLICLY
AT THIS POINT IS THAT BRUCE
McARTHUR IS ON THEIR RADAR AND
HAS BEEN UNDER SURVEILLANCE FOR
THE LAST THREE MONTHS.
WHILE POLICE ARE WATCHING HIM
THEY SPOT A MAN ARRIVING TO MEET
McARTHUR FOR A SEXUAL
ENCOUNTER.
FEARING FOR HIS SAFETY THEY MOVE
IN AND THEY FIND THE MAN IN
RESTRAINTS.
THAT'S WHEN FINALLY POLICE MAKE
AN ARREST, NEARLY EIGHT YEARS
AFTER MEN STARTED DISAPPEARING.
>> THIS MORNING AT APPROXIMATELY
10:25 a.m., POLICE ARRESTED
66-YEAR-OLD BRUCE McARTHUR OF
THE CITY OF TORONTO.
HE HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH TWO
COUNTS OF FIRST-DEGREE MURDER IN
RELATION TO MR. KINSMAN AND
MR. ESEN.
AND WE BELIEVE THAT
HE'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATHS
OF OTHER MEN WHO HAVE YET TO BE
IDENTIFIED.
IN OTHER WORDS, WE BELIEVE THAT
THERE ARE OTHER VICTIMS.
>> Reporter: POLICE REVEAL
THAT McARTHUR HAD RELATIONS
WITH BOTH MEN.
DETECTIVES WON'T SAY HOW THEY
LINKED McARTHUR TO THOSE
MURDERS BUT THEY HAD ALREADY
SEIZED HIS VAN.
McARTHUR HAD SOLD IT TO THIS
AUTO PARTS DEALER OUTSIDE THE
CITY.
POLICE ALSO HAD A LIST OF
McARTHUR'S LANDSCAPING CLIENTS
AND HAD SOME OF THOSE LOCATIONS
UNDER SURVEILLANCE, INCLUDING
THIS TORONTO HOME THAT WOULD
BECOME GROUND ZERO.
FORENSIC TEAMS ALSO BEGIN TO
SCOUR McARTHUR'S APARTMENT AND
HIS DIGITAL FOOTPRINT.
SOON, THEY FIND MORE EVIDENCE.
11 DAYS AFTER HIS ARREST,
McARTHUR IS CHARGED WITH THREE
MORE COUNTS OF FIRST-DEGREE
MURDER.
THE TOTAL IS NOW FIVE.
>> THESE NEW CHARGES ARE IN
RELATION TO THE MURDERS OF
MAJEED KAYHAN, SOROUSH MAHMUDI
AND DEAN LISOWICK.
>> Reporter: MOST OF THE MEN
ARE AMONG THE SAME MEN THAT
POLICE HAD BEEN LOOKING FOR
YEARS BEFORE.
EXCEPT ONE -- DEAN LISOWICK, A
HOMELESS MAN WHO WAS NEVER
EVEN BEEN REPORTED MISSING.
POLICE NOW OPENLY SAY WHAT THEY
HAD SUSPECTED FOR YEARS AND WHAT
HAD BEEN FEARED ALL ALONG.
>> IT'S A SERIAL KILLER, ALLEGED
SERIAL KILLER.
HE'S TAKEN SOME STEPS TO COVER
HIS TRACKS.
>> Reporter: BUT NOT WELL
ENOUGH AND THE DETAIL ARE
HORRIFIC.
OVER THE NEXT WEEK AND A HALF
POLICE FIND SIX SETS OF
DISMEMBERED SKELETAL REMAINS IN
THE PLANTERS AT A TORONTO HOME
WHERE McARTHUR STORED HIS
LANDSCAPING TOOLS.
BUT AT THIS POINT THE LEAD
DETECTIVE CAN ONLY PUT A NAME TO
ONE OF THEM.
>> WE'VE IDENTIFIED SOME OF THE
BODY PARTS AS BELONGING TO ONE
OF THE VICTIMS WHOM WE CHARGED
MR. McARTHUR WITH THE MURDER
OF AND THAT'S ANDREW KINSMAN.
>> Reporter: MEANWHILE A
TWISTED PORTRAIT EMERGES.
THE MALL SANTA.
THE DOTING GRANDFATHER.
THE VORACIOUS THRILL SEEKER WHO
WAS ON SEVERAL DATING APPS,
INCLUDING ONES GEARED TO ROUGH
SEX.
PETER HAD KNOWN McARTHUR FOR
YEARS AS A FRIEND, BUT LAST
SPRING AFTER DRINKS THEY SHARED
AN INTIMATE ENCOUNTER THAT
SUDDENLY BECAME VIOLENT.
>> SO WE WERE KISSING AND
KISSING TURNED INTO SOME PETTING
AND HE UNDID MY SHIRT AND UNDID
HIS SHIRT.
THEN HE GRABBED ME BY THE NECK.
FIRST BY THE HEAD AND KIND OF
PUSHED ME DOWN TO HIS CROTCH AND
I WASN'T QUITE THERE AND KIND OF
POPPED BACK UP.
AND THEN HE REALLY GRABBED MY
NECK VIOLENTLY AND TWISTED IT.
I LITERALLY THOUGHT ONE MORE
SECOND HE WOULD HAVE SNAPPED AND
BROKEN MY NECK AND I WAS A DEAD
MAN.
>> Reporter: HE MANAGED TO
FREE HIMSELF.
BUT AFTER McARTHUR'S ARREST
MORE EERILY SIMILAR AND
DISTURBING STORIES CONTINUE TO
SURFACE.
JEFFREY DAVIS KNEW ONE OF THE
VICTIMS AND HAS HEARD OTHER
SURVIVOR STORIES.
>> IT WAS CHOKING, MY FRIEND WAS
BEING CHOKED BY BRUCE.
>> Reporter: DAVIS IS A LOCAL
DESIGNER WHO HAS LIVED IN THE
COMMUNITY FOR YEARS.
TWO FRIENDS HAD FRIGHTENING
EXPERIENCES WITH McARTHUR.
BOTH HAVE SINCE SPOKEN WITH
POLICE.
>> I THINK THAT THE PART THAT
WAS REALLY KILLING OUR COMMUNITY
THE MOST WAS THE UNKNOWING AND
THE APPARENT -- WELL, IT WASN'T
EVEN APPARENT -- IT WAS THE
PERCEIVED LACK OF CARE FROM
TORONTO POLICE SERVICES.
>> Reporter: AMID THE GRIEF
THAT SIMMERING RESENTMENT
LINGERS.
THAT POLICE DIDN'T TAKE THE
DISAPPEARANCES SERIOUSLY ENOUGH.
THAT LIVES COULD HAVE BEEN
SPARED.
ALL WHILE THE HORROR CONTINUES
TO GROW.
BACK AT GROUND ZERO OF THE
INVESTIGATION, EVIDENCE IS
BUILDING.
AND WITH EVERY POLICE UPDATE, A
GRUESOME
TALLY OF BODY PARTS AND MURDER
CHARGES.
>> IT'S VERY DISTURBING.
>> Reporter: A MONTH AFTER HIS
ARREST POLICE CHARGE McARTHUR
FOR A SIXTH MURDER FOR THE DEATH
OF SKANDA NAVARATNAM.
AND THEY IDENTIFY HIS REMAINS AS
WELL AS SOROUSH MAHMUDI.
>>> WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH ALL OF
THE PLANTERS THAT WE SEIZED AND
HAVEN'T FOUND ANY MORE REMAINS.
>> Reporter: WORDS SPOKEN TOO
SOON.
JUST 10 DAYS LATER POLICE FIND A
SEVENTH SET OF REMAINS IN THOSE
PLANTERS AND TAKE THE
EXTRAORDINARY STEP OF RELEASING
A PHOTO OF A DEAD MAN.
>> I DO NOT WANT TO RELEASE THIS
PICTURE AND I'M DOING SO AS A
LAST RESORT.
>> Reporter: THEY DON'T KNOW
WHO HE IS BUT THEY BELIEVE THAT
HE'S ANOTHER VICTIM.
>> Question: HOW EXTRAORDINARY
IS IT FOR YOU TO PUT A PHOTO UP
LIKE THIS AT A NEWS CONFERENCE?
>> I'VE NEVER DONE THIS, AND I
DO IT WITH GREAT HESITATION.
>> Reporter: SOURCES TELL CBC
NEWS THAT THE PHOTO WAS JUST ONE
IN A CACHE OF IMAGES OF
McARTHUR'S ALLEGED VICTIMS
THAT HE KEPT ON HIS COMPUTER.
POLICE HOPE TO IDENTIFY THE MAN
SO THEY CAN LAY ANOTHER MURDER
CHARGE.
THE NEXT MONTH MORE CHARGES.
>> TODAY MR. McARTHUR WAS
BROUGHT BACK BEFORE THE COURTS.
HE WAS CHARGED WITH FIRST-DEGREE
MURDER IN RELATION TO MR. FAIZI.
BRUCE McARTHUR IS NOW CHARGED
WITH AND ALLEGED TO HAVE
COMMITTED SEVEN MURDERS.
>> Reporter: POLICE ALSO
IDENTIFY MORE OF THE REMAINS.
AND FIVE DAYS LATER ARE ABLE TO
NAME THE MAN FROM THE PHOTO AS
KIRUSHNA KUMAR KANAGARATNAM.
>> HE WAS CHARGED WITH
FIRST-DEGREE MURDER.
>> Reporter: THE SPRAWLING
INVESTIGATION
PAUSES UNTIL JULY WHEN POLICE GO
BACK TO MALLORY CRESCENT.
>> THEY'RE DIGGING FURTHER UP IN
WHAT IS CERTAINLY A COMPOST
PILE.
>> Reporter: POLICE GRANT THE
MEDIA EXTRAORDINARY ACCESS TO
THE RAVINE AREA BEHIND THE HOME.
THE SEARCH MARKS A TURNING POINT
IN AN EXHAUSTIVE CASE.
SOON AFTER POLICE ANNOUNCED THEY
HAVE RECOVERED THE REMAINS OF
MAJEED KAYHAN.
HIS WERE THE ONLY ONES NOT FOUND
IN THE PLANTERS.
THE FINAL HORRIFIC TALLY, EIGHT
CHARGES OF FIRST-DEGREE MURDER.
TODAY BRUCE McARTHUR PLED
GUILTY TO EVERY SINGLE ONE.
IOANNA ROUMELIOTIS, CBC NEWS,
TORONTO.
>> Andrew: AND UP NEXT ON "THE
NATIONAL"... TWO YEARS AFTER THE
DEADLY MOSQUE SHOOTING IN QUÉBEC
CITY, A SURVIVOR SHARES HIS
STORY OF RECOVERY AND HOW
CANADIANS ACROSS THE COUNTRY
HELPED TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE.
>> THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL THING,
YOU KNOW, BEYOND THE TRAGEDY,
AFTER THIS TRAGEDY -- THERE IS
SOME WAVE OF SOLIDARITY TOWARDS
MUSLIMS.
>> Adrienne: AND TOMORROW
NIGHT ON "THE NATIONAL," I SIT
DOWN WITH ONE OF "TIME"
MAGAZINES PERSONS OF THE
YEAR, JOURNALIST MARIA RESSA.
HERE'S A PREVIEW.
IT WAS ONE THING TO KNOW THAT
SHE WAS CHOSEN BY "TIME" AS
A
GUARDIAN OF THE TRUTH AND QUITE
ANOTHER FOR MARIA RESSA TO
REALIZE THAT EVERY OTHER
HONOURED JOURNALIST, LIKE JAMAL
KHASHOGGI, HAD BEEN MURDERED OR
JAILED.
>> I WAS THE ONLY ONE OF THE
FOUR WHO WAS ALIVE OR FREED.
I WENT THROUGH A LOT OF
EMOTIONS.
>> Adrienne: THERE'S A LOT OF
REASONS FOR HER TO BE AFRAID.
THE DUTERTE GOVERNMENT HAS TRIED
TO SHUT DOWN THE NEWS
ORGINISATION THAT SHE RUNS AND
IS TRYING TO JAIL HER, BUT SHE
PUSHES AHEAD AND EXPOSING SOCIAL
MEDIA NETWORKS THAT SPREAD LIES
AND HATE AND DAMAGE DEMOCRACIES.
HER WARNING FOR CANADA THIS
ELECTION YEAR?
YOU'RE NOT IMMUNE.
>> PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU WAS
THE ONLY WORLD LEADER THAT
DURING APEC CALLED OUT THE
PHILIPPINES AND PRESIDENT
DUTERTE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS
VIOLATIONS.
WHO WAS IS THE VOICE FOR THESE,
RIGHT?
IF YOU GUYS ARE THAT, YOU'RE THE
TARGET.
>> Adrienne: BRACE YOURSELVES,
CANADA, SHE SAYS -- THIS COUNTRY
IS BEEN TO BE TESTED.
RESSA RES
(*)
>> Ian: IT WAS TWO YEARS AGO
TONIGHT THAT SUNDAY PRAYERS AT A
QUÉBEC CITY MOSQUE WERE
SHATTERED BY A MURDEROUS ATTACK.
TODAY IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS
M.P.s MARKED THE TRAGIC MOMENT
BY STANDING IN SOLIDARITY WITH
MUSLIMS AND CONDEMNING THE
SHOOTING.
>> TOGETHER WE REMEMBER THE
VICTIMS AND STRIVE TO SEE THE
HUMANITY IN OUR FELLOW CITIZENS.
NO MATTER OUR RACE OR THE COLOUR
OF OUR SKIN OR OUR RELIGION, WE
ARE ALL CANADIANS.
[Applause]
>> Ian: AND THEN THE HOUSE FELL
QUIET AS EVERYONE OBSERVED A
MOMENT OF SILENCE IN HONOUR OF
THE SIX MEN WHO WERE KILLED --
SONS, BROTHERS, HUSBANDS,
FATHERS.
TONIGHT IN OTTAWA DESPITE THE
COLD PEOPLE GATHERED ON
PARLIAMENT HILL.
IN QUÉBEC CITY AND ALSO ACROSS
THE COUNTRY TOO, VIGILS ARE
BEING HELD TO REMEMBER ALL OF
THE VICTIMS.
SOME SURVIVED THE ATTACK AND
OTHERS LOST THEIR LOVED ONES BUT
AS ALISON NORTHCOTT TELLS US,
THEY'RE STILL TRYING TO MOVE
FORWARD FROM THE TRAGEDY.
>> Reporter: LIFE ISN'T WHAT
IT ONCE WAS FOR AYMEN DERBALI.
A TRAIL OF SCARS SHOWS WHERE A
BULLET EXPLODED IN HIS ARM AFTER
THE GUNMAN SHOT HIM SEVEN TIMES,
LEAVING HIM
PARALYSED.
IT'S TAKEN A LOT OF WORK TO GET
HERE.
A NEW HOME ADAPTED FOR HIS
WHEELCHAIR AFTER 13 MONTHS IN A
REHAB FACILITY.
>> I'M VERY GLAD TO BE WITH MY
FAMILY AND WITH MY CHILDREN.
>> Reporter: DERBALI WAS IN A
COMA FOR TWO MONTHS.
HIS NOW 10-YEAR-OLD SON WOULDN'T
BELIEVE THAT HE WAS ALIVE UNTIL
HE FINALLY OPENED HIS EYES.
>> HE WAS REALLY UPSET WHEN HE
SAW ME.
WHEN HE SEA ME BACK
HOME HE WAS VERY, VERY HAPPY.
>> Reporter: THROUGH
FUNDRAISING PEOPLE ACROSS CANADA
DONATED MONEY TO HELP DERBALI TO
BUY HIS NEW HOME.
>> THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL THING,
YOU KNOW, BEYOND THE TRAGEDY,
AFTER THIS TRAGEDY, THERE IS A
STRONG WAVE OF SOLIDARITY FOR
MUSLIMS.
>> Reporter: DERBALI IS
GRATEFUL FOR THE PROGRESS THAT
HE'S MADE, BEING ABLE TO TYPE
AND TRYING TO LIVE A NORMAL
LIFE.
>> BEING ABLE TO RECOGNIZE MY
CHILDREN, MY WIFE, THIS IS THE
MAIN THING FOR ME.
>> Reporter: SHE CAN'T FORGET
THE NIGHT THAT SHE SEARCHED
FRANTICALLY FOR HER HUSBAND ABU
BAKR AND LEARNED THAT HE WAS
AMONG THE DEAD.
>> Reporter: BECAUSE SHE
WASN'T THERE WHEN THE SHOOTING
HAPPENED SHE HAD TO FIGHT TO GET
THE PROVINCE TO GRANT HER AND
HER CHILDREN VICTIMS
COMPENSATION.
FOR HER SON, MOHAMMED, HAUNTING
IMAGES OF BLOOD STAINS AND
BULLET HOLES LINGER.
ADDING TO THAT SHOCK, THE
REALIZATION THAT HE HAD SPOKEN
WITH THE SHOOTER AT THE MOSQUE
DAYS BEFORE THE KILLING.
>> Reporter: DERBALI WANTS TO
SHARE HIS STORY WITH YOUNG
PEOPLE TO FIGHT HOMOPHOBIA AND
HATE.
HIS FOCUS NOW IS ON HELPING
OTHERS WHILE HIS OWN RECOVERY
CONTINUES.
>> I HAVE TO WORK FOR THE FUTURE
AND FOR OUR CHILDREN.
SO WE HAVE TO FORGET ABOUT THIS
TRAGEDY.
>> Reporter: ALISON NORTHCOTT,
CBC NEWS, MONTRÉAL.
>> Andrew: OKAY, OUR "MOMENT
OF THE DAY" IS NEXT.
BUT, FIRST, WE WANT TO UPDATE
YOU ON ONE OF OUR DAILY MOMENTS
FROM A FEW WEEKS AGO.
YOU MAY REMEMBER TINA ADAMS.
SHE WAS STRUCK BY A DRUNK DRIVER
IN QUÉBEC.
IN HER VICTIM IMPACT STATEMENT
SHE MADE A SIMPLE BUT
EXTRAORDINARY REQUEST OF THE
JUDGE AND THAT WAS FOR THE
DRIVER TO SPEAK ALONGSIDE HER TO
HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS.
>> I THINK THAT IT WOULD MAKE A
HUGE IMPACT ON STUDENTS IN
SCHOOLS.
YOU KNOW, PEOPLE -- WHEN I'M
SPEAKING IT HAS A REALLY BIG
IMPACT.
>> Andrew: TODAY THE JUDGE
LISTENED.
IN ADDITION TO AN EIGHT-MONTH
JAIL SENTENCE THE DRIVER WILL BE
REQUIRED TO SPEAK IN SCHOOLS
ABOUT IMPAIRED DRIVING.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF PUNISHMENT,
TO BE SURE, BUT ONE THAT ADAMS
HOPES THAT WILL HELP HIM AND
OTHERS TO LEARN A LESSON.
>> Andrew: MUCH OF THE COUNTRY
IS EXPERIENCING A DEEP CHILL
RIGHT NOW BUT IN MANITOBA MOTHER
NATURE IS REALLY PUSHING THE
ENVELOPE.
THE HIGH ACROSS THE PROVINCE WAS
AROUND -30°.
THE HIGH!
AND WITH THE WIND CHILL THAT'S A
LOT CLOSER TO -45°.
IT'S ALSO SUPPOSED TO STAY THAT
COLD UNTIL AT LEAST THURSDAY.
SO WHERE DOES ONE TURN FOR THAT
GLIMMER OF HOPE THAT WE'LL ALL
PULL THROUGH?
WELL, FOR ONE FAMILY IN WINNIPEG
THEY FOUND IT RIGHT IN THEIR OWN
GARAGE.
AND THEIR DISCOVERY IS OUR
"MOMENT OF THE DAY."
>> AS I'M TIDYING UP, SURE
ENOUGH, I LOOK ON THE GROUND
RIGHT THERE AND THERE'S A
BUTTERFLY.
WE HAVE OUR GARAGE OPEN AND WE
WORK OUT OF THERE.
AND LIKELY SOME LITTLE GUY
CRAWLED IN THERE, YOU KNOW, IN
THE FALLTIME AND SAID, HEY, THIS
LOOKS LIKE A GREAT SPOT TO PARK
UP.
BUT, UNFORTUNATELY, HE WOKE UP
AT THE WRONG TIME.
WHAT DO YOU DO WITH A BUTTERFLY
IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER?
YOU KNOW, I SAID, OKAY, PROBABLY
NOT THE BEST IDEA TO LEAVE IT
OUT IN THE GARAGE SO WE BROUGHT
IT INTO THE HOUSE AND HERE WE
HAVE IT NOW WITH OUR OTHER
CRITTERS.
HE IS FROSTBITE BILL.
AND SO HE'S BEEN DUBBED THAT.
HE'S GOING TO LIVE OUT HIS DAYS
YEAH WITH OUR TORTOISES AND
HOPEFULLY WE CAN JUST LET HIM
HAVE AS MUCH PEACE AS HE CAN
HAVE RIGHT NOW.
IT CAN'T DO ANYTHING BUT TO PUT
A SMILE ON YOUR FACE, REALLY, TO
SEE SOMETHING AS BEAUTIFUL AS
THAT WHEN YOU'RE NOT EXPECTING
IT, RIGHT?
>> Adrienne: WELL, FROSTBITE
BILL WAS ONE SMART CATERPILLAR
TO CRAWL INTO JOHN'S HEATED
GARAGE.
IT'S A REALLY PRETTY ONE.
I HAD NO IDEA WHAT KIND IT WAS.
APPARENTLY IT'S SOMETHING CALLED
AN EASTERN BLACK
SWALLOWTAIL, VERY COMMON IN
MANITOBA, JUST NOT AT THIS TIME
OF YEAR.
THAT'S IT, YOU GOT NOTHING,
GUYS?
>> Andrew: NO, NO, I THOUGHT
THAT IAN WAS GOING TO TALK.
I WAS GIVING HIM TIME TO JUMP
IN.
>> Ian: YOU KNOW WHAT, THAT'S A
BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLY.
I WAS SKEPTICAL ABOUT THE STORY
UNTIL THE MOMENT I SAW THE
VIDEO.
>> Andrew: OH, PLEASE.
>> Ian: IT'S QUITE PRETTY.
AND I'M WONDERING HOW MANY
PEOPLE IN MANITOBA -- I WOULD
SAY MAYBE 50 -- HAVE HAD
BUTTERFLIES THAT HAVE APPEARED
IN THEIR GARAGES AND THEY'RE
LOOKING AT THIS NOW AND ARE
SAYING WE SHOULD HAVE TAKEN IT
INSIDE THE HOUSE.
IT NEVER OCCURRED TO US.
>> Andrew: YOU'RE FROM
VANCOUVER, YOU PROBABLY HAVE
SEEN BUTTERFLIES ALL AROUND YOU?
>> Ian: THERE'S NO UPSIDE IN ME
TALKING ABOUT THAT.
>> Adrienne: SOMEONE BETTER
TURN HIS MIKE OFF.
>> Andrew: THAT IS "THE
NATIONAL" FOR THIS
JANUARY 29th.
HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.
>> Adrienne: GOODNIGHT.
>> Ian: GOODNIGHT.
