Eight bodies found at Canada farm
The bodies of eight men have been found in several vehicles in woodland on a farm in Canada, police say. The grim discovery was made by a farmer on his land in Elgin County, Ontario.
Police have launched a murder hunt and say it is possible more bodies will be found. They say all the men were white but have given few other details.
"We are not in a position to release any information about the persons, the motive or the cause of death," said Ontario Police Sergeant Dave Rektor.
The farm is near the village of Shedden, about 20km (12 miles) from the city of St Thomas, south-west of Toronto.
Police say the bodies were found in three cars and a tow truck.
Sgt Rektor refused to confirm media speculation that all eight men had gunshot wounds.
Officers say the murder probe is at a very early stage, but say the farmer who reported the discovery of the bodies is not considered a suspect.
Must be those pesky Shakespeare festival goers on the loose again.
So, of course, this story cannot be true, UNLESS they were killed in evil gun-loving America and taken across the border!!

Police were not disclosing many details about the deaths in rural Ontario, about 20 miles southwest of the city of London, except to say that four vehicles were involved, including a tow truck, and that the dead were all men."

And -- they "knew each other" - how did the police figure that already?
