Police say it is unclear exactly why the murder of a 75-year-old woman in Scarborough in December 2019 was never reported to the media and only came to light when the woman’s husband, who was charged in her death, died in jail.
According to police, Zohra Derouiche was stabbed multiple times in a home in the area of Pharmacy Avenue and Lawrence Avenue East on the morning of Dec. 10, 2019.
She was rushed to hospital in life-threatening condition but died from her injuries 10 days later.
Police say Hassouna Soltani, the victim’s 84-year-old husband, was initially charged with aggravated assault but the charges were later upgraded to second-degree murder after her death.
