And when the foreboding doors at Millhaven slammed shut behind serial killer Bruce McArthur, probably forever, the end was decidedly unsatisfying.
McArthur spent years preying upon mostly gay men of colour and, in the end, in 2019, he pleaded guilty to murdering eight men.
Now, a new documentary called
Catching A Serial Killer: Bruce McArthur airing Friday at 9 p.m. on Super Channel Fuse hopes to peel back the layers of this chilling enigma. Serial killer Bruce McArthur’s victims are shown in these Toronto Police Service handout photos. Top row (left to right) are Selim Esen, Soroush Mahmudi, Dean Lisowick and Abdulbasir Faizi. Bottom row (left to right) are Skandaraj Navaratnam, Andrew Kinsman, Kirushna Kanagaratnam and Majeed Kayhan.
The report found that some police officers had misconceptions or stereotypical ideas about the LGBTQ community, and that there was a lack of communication about the cases with the community, as well as within the police force itself.
Epstein also identified delays and errors in the investigations, and missed important opportunities to identify him as the killer.
She wrote that her extensive engagement with community members and organizations confirmed that many people deeply mistrust the Toronto police.
Interim police chief James Ramer said Tuesday that the shortcomings Epstein identified are inexcusable. He said the police accept and will act on every one of the report s 150 recommendations.

The Toronto Police Service needs a culture shift to deal with “profound systemic failures” that led to serial killer Bruce McArthur stalking the city’s LGBTQ community for nearly eight years before being caught, according to an external review into the police investigation.
The review, by retired Ontario Court of Appeal Justice Gloria Epstein, was launched in 2018 to examine how police handled the cases of eight men Mr. McArthur murdered between 2010 and 2017 in the city’s Gay Village. It was expanded to look at two cases from 2017: the botched search for Tess Richey, and Alloura Wells, a transgender woman whose death remains unexplained.
Published Tuesday, April 13, 2021 5:32AM EDT Last Updated Tuesday, April 13, 2021 4:53PM EDT A long-awaited independent review has found “serious flaws” in how the Toronto police force handled a number of missing persons investigations in the city’s Gay Village and is calling for a new approach that would shift some of the responsibility for handling these files onto civilians and community agencies. Retired Ontario Court of Appeal justice Gloria Epstein was asked to conduct the review back in 2018 amid public criticism that police had not done enough in response to a number of missing person reports in the Village. The probe wasn’t initially supposed to include the case of serial killer Bruce McArthur as it was before the courts at the time. But its scope was later widened after McArthur plead guilty to eight counts of first-degree murder.
