The source said photos were found on McArthur’s computer that helped investigators identify some of the victims.The 66-year-old has been charged with five counts of first-degree murder and police believe that number will rise as the investigation continues.

Investigators are searching approximately 30 properties connected to McArthur, who worked as a self-employed landscaper.Police say they recovered the remains of three individuals from a home on Mallory Crescent, a property in Leaside used by McArthur to store landscaping equipment, but the remains have not been identified and it’s unclear if they’re connected to the five victims.“Right now, where we’ve recovered the bodies, are from large planters and they’ve been hidden in the bottom of these planters, so we’ve seized quite a few planters from around the city,” Det.-Sgt. Hank Idsinga said in a news conference on Monday morning.“They can’t be identified because they are skeletal remains and they have been dismembered so we have to wait for DNA tests… before we can identify those remains.”

Following his arrest, McArthur was charged with two counts of first-degree murder in relation to the disappearance of Andrew Kinsman and Selim Esen. On Monday, three more charges of first-degree murder were added, in connection with the deaths of Majeed Kayhan, 58, Soroush Mahmudi, 50, and Dean Lisowick, 47.

For over seven years, Navaseelan Navaratnam has been carefully guarding a devastating truth from his 80-year-old Sri Lankan mother: no one knows where his brother, Skandaraj, is.“She is a heart patient,” said Navaratnam. “I don’t want to hurt her.”

Skandaraj Navaratnam, 40, was last seen in the early hours of Sept. 10, 2010, leaving Zipperz Club and bar , a now closed located  near Church and Carlton Sts., with an unknown man.The case of his disappearance would become part of Project Houston — an eighteen-month long police task force looking for Skandaraj and two other men who went missing between 2010 and 2012: Majeed Kayhan, 58, and Abdulbasir Faizi, 42....Skandaraj’s friends and family, have yet to hear any new information.Speaking to the Star from Dubai, Navaratnam, 42, tells a story of three brothers—two in Sri Lanka (aged 52 and 44) and himself—who continue to “hope and pray that nothing has happened” to their brother.Skandaraj moved to Canada from Sri Lanka a few years before he went missing.
