A former landscaper charged with killing eight men with ties to Toronto’s Gay Village district pleaded guilty on Tuesday to eight counts of first-degree murder.
Police last year found the remains of seven of the men in large planters at a property where McArthur had worked. The remains of the eighth victim were found in a ravine behind the same property in midtown Toronto.
The prosecutor, Michael Cantlon, said the cases involved sexual assault or forcible confinement and said the bodies were hidden and dismembered.

Most were of Middle Eastern or South Asian descent and lived on the margins of Canadian society, their disappearances attracting little attention.
One victim hid the fact that he was gay from his Muslim family. Another was a recent immigrant with a drug problem. Another alleged victim was homeless, smoked crack cocaine and worked as a prostitute.
But then Andrew Kinsman vanished. The 49-year-old LGBQT activist and former bartender in Toronto had many friends. When he suddenly went missing the day after Toronto’s gay pride parade, his friends noticed quickly, and so did the police.

Almost all serial killers are sexual deviants and I’d say the majority are homosexual.
"...most were of Middle Eastern descent and lived on the margins of society..."
And pop-up ads tell me that it has no labels.
Toronto homeowner: “What? They locked up the gardener?
What am I supposed to do? I can’t WATER!”
Canada? Who cares?
I do. I lived there in the seventies and try to keep up with what’s happening.
There must be...fifty graves to recieve your lovers.
Just hide ‘em in a pot, Scott
Bury ‘em with cement, Kent
Plant ‘em underneath a shed, Fred
Beneath the roots of a tree, Lee
“McArthur(67) moved to the Toronto area in 2000 and previously lived in a suburb where he was married and raised 2 children and worked as a TRAVELING SALESMAN of UNDERWEAR and SOCKS.”
8 Victims? Tip of iceberg.
More like 80.
This article reminds me of my last landscape order; 5 petunias, 3 ferns, 1 extra large bush, and a gay Muslim in a pear tree.
Those trees must have been growing like crazy.
You have to wonder about this case...could it be the evidence was planted??
But the roses were never so pretty.
Police are digging for evidence.
A very fertile investigation, one would think.
They looked fa-bulous!
I’m sure they’ll get to the root of the problem.
