Ottawa fire kills five above grocery store
By Bruce CHEADLE, Canadian Press
Ottawa -- A Cambodian grocer lost his wife and four children as fire swept the apartment over their store yesterday. Officials say the fire, which left three other family members critically burned, was Ottawa's worst in at least 40 years.
witnesses: said heroic efforts by Bacara THACH, the family patriarch, helped save his 14-month-old grand_son Sipheng from the flat over his small grocery.
Fire crews were on the scene in moments and also saved the child's father, THACH's son-in-law, who arrived in Canada three weeks ago. All three were listed in critical condition yesterday in hospital.
Dead are Kol Yan THACH, her daughter, Lily, 23, and three sons Gary, 14, Danny, 13, and Sunny, 12, according to tearful Friends and neighbours gathered near the Mekong Grocery in Ottawa's Chinatown.
"The identity of those victims is not official," cautioned Staff Sgt. Monique ACKLAND.
Autopsies are to be performed today. Fire officials began combing through the wreckage yesterday seeking the fire's cause.
The five dead were pulled from the burning building by firefighters but died at the scene, said officials.
"The firefighters went in four times, at risk of their own lives, in the face of a fully engulfed building to try and rescue the people," Ottawa police Chief Vince BEVAN said.
Family friend Vannary PHA said the elder THACH gave his grand_son to a neighbour, then tried to re-enter the flat.
"The father got burned trying to go back in," PHA said.
Across the street from the tiny store, a steady stream of hollow-eyed Friends came to gaze at the carnage, some leaving photos and flowers.
"We had a party last Saturday with him," said Than Pennsylvania, a friend of Bacara THACH's and fellow member of a Cambodian community association. "Now they're all dead."
Firefighters were less than two blocks away at another blaze when the fire erupted just before 2 a.m.
Some power in the area had been cut because of the original fire, but officials could not confirm the THACH household was affected.
But Trevor BAIN of the Ontario Fire Marshall's office said it appears the THACH fire started in a front bedroom of the apartment, not the store below. Some neighbours were suggesting a candle ignited the blaze.

Serial killer feared in teen's death
By Terry PEDWELL, Canadian Press
Ottawa -- The case of a missing Ottawa teen is now a murder investigation, sparking fears by some a serial killer may be on the loose.
Police confirmed yesterday that a body found near a hiking trail, just steps from a frequently used parking lot, is that of 18-year-old Jennifer TEAGUE who disappeared on her way home from work September The body was partly covered in tree branches when it was found Sunday about five kilometres from the west-end restaurant where TEAGUE was last seen after working the late shift.
Investigators are not ruling out the possibility that a serial killer is responsible, but they said it doesn't immediately appear that the case is related to that of another murdered Ottawa woman.
The▼ body of Ardeth WOOD, 27, was discovered more than two years ago near a path in the city's east end and police have yet to find her killer.
"At this point, I must stress that the two investigations do not appear to be related," said a sombre Staff-Sgt. Monique ACKLAND at a roadside news conference near where the body was discovered.
But that didn't ease everyone's fears. At least one radio talk show host and many residents raised concerns about a link to WOOD and fears of a serial killer.
The cause of death was not immediately known and police would not reveal whether TEAGUE had been sexually assaulted, nor whether she was fully clothed when discovered.
"It will take... extensive forensic testing to obtain more information," said ACKLAND. " That▼ could take weeks."
The identification was done through dental records.
As many as 65 police officers continued searching area roadways and the swamp near where TEAGUE's body was found as separate investigative teams probed her death.
All available staff, from forensics specialists to crime lab personnel and beat cops, have been called in to help.
As a small aircraft guided them from above, vanloads of police searchers could be seen yesterday heading into a marsh that makes up part of the Stoney Swamp Conservation Area, about 500 metres from the trail where the odour of a decomposing body led an off-duty police officer to TEAGUE.
The TEAGUE family, after being informed of the positive identification of the teenager, asked police to relay their wishes for privacy to the media, said ACKLAND.
"They are going through very hard times and our hearts go out to them. Please leave the family alone."

Ottawa man faces charges in deaths of parents, sister
Canadian Press, Monday, March 14, 2005 Page A7
Ottawa -- Police responding to a call for help from a frantic and screaming woman discovered her body and the bodies of her parents in an east-end home yesterday. The couple's son was arrested and is expected to be charged.
Gerald MAXHELEAU, 66, his wife Louise▼ MAXHELEAU, 60, and their daughter Michelle MAXHELEAU, 25, were all found stabbed to death on the main floor of the house, police said.
Police▼ expect to charge the MAXHELEAU's 30-year-old son, Daniel, with three counts of first-degree murder today, Ottawa Police Staff-Sergeant Randy Whisker told the Ottawa Citizen.
Officers raced to the comfortable home in a tranquil suburb around 9 a.m. after receiving a frantic 911 call from a woman screaming and crying for help.
A blood-covered man who rambled on about a bizarre plot against him met police at the door, the Ottawa Sun reported.
Inside, police found the daughter in the foyer, dead from stab wounds with a phone next to her. Her parents were discovered face down in pools of blood on the kitchen floor, the newspaper said.
"There were signs of violence on the bodies of the victims," said Staff-Sergeant Monique ACKLAND, an Ottawa Police spokeswoman.
Police said the son was treated for minor cuts at hospital and then was taken to an Ottawa police station for questioning.
"There is a lot of work to do to put together what exactly happened," Staff-Sgt. WHISKER said. "It will likely take us a couple of days to process the crime scene."
A weapon believed to have been used in the killings was recovered and a team of forensic officers will collect evidence at the house for the next couple of days.
Staff-Sgt. ACKLAND said the accused has had previous contact with police, but not of a criminal nature.
The Sun reported that police were called to the house last year when a man threatened to jump out a window. Depressed over losing his job and unable to sleep, the man voluntarily admitted himself to a psychiatric unit at a local hospital.
A relative in Toronto said the couple's surviving daughters are in a state of shock.
"It's too painful to be able to speak about it," Elyse MAXHELEAU said.
Neighbour Jean PERLEY said the MAXHELEAU family has lived in the house for at least 20 years.
Neighbours said the couple had three daughters: Michelle, who was the youngest; Susan, who lives in Montreal; and Marie-Helen, who lives in nearby Hull, Quebec
Marie-Helen went to visit her parents on Sunday afternoon but arrived to find police cruisers blocking the street.
Few neighbours knew the couple had a son until he moved in with them in the last couple of weeks.

Body in Ottawa identified as missing 18-year-old
By Gloria GALLOWAY, Tuesday, September 20, 2005, Page A6
Ottawa -- Jennifer TEAGUE's family sat on the front step of their townhouse in suburban Barrhaven yesterday and waited for confirmation of what seemed brutally obvious -- the decomposing body found in a swamp a short drive away was indeed that of the athletic 18-year-old.
Exhausted after more than a week of torturous uncertainty, her brother and others had no public words to offer about the vivacious Jennifer, a student and soccer goalie who chatted with Friends on the walk home from her late shift at a fast food restaurant, then disappeared.
When the official identification of the remains finally came mid-afternoon, the police begged for some quiet time for her loved ones.
"Jennifer TEAGUE's family has requested for us to ask that their privacy be respected," Staff Sergeant Monique ACKLAND said. "They are going through very hard times and our heart goes out to them. Please leave the family alone."
Her devout father, Edward TEAGUE, had remained stalwart during the long days after her disappearance, refusing to give up hope that she was still alive. Her mother, Jean TEAGUE, was mostly too distraught to speak, but broke down at one press conference, telling her missing daughter to "please, please come home."
That possibility ended Sunday when an off-duty police officer discovered the body just steps from a small parking lot in a marshy conservation area. Much more testing needs to be done before a cause of death can be determined, said Staff. Sgt. ACKLAND, and it could be weeks before the results are known.
So, even if her family must accept that their pleas for her safe return will not be answered, they do not know what she endured before her death. And there are many other questions being asked by the people of Ottawa -- including is there a serial killer in their midst?
It was just over two years ago that Ardeth WOOD, a 27-year-old university student taking a break from doctoral studies in philosophy, did not return from a midday bike trip in another part of this city. Her naked body was discovered five days later just off a bike trail near the edge of a creek where it had been covered with branches and leaves. She had been drowned.
Despite a slew of eyewitness descriptions of a man who had been approaching women along the same path, her killer has never been found.
Staff Sgt. ACKLAND said yesterday that there is no apparent link between the two crimes. "The major team investigators are pursuing their investigation and they will not discard any possibility," she said. "However, at this point, I must stress that the two investigations do not appear to be related."
But the similarities are difficult to ignore. Both young women were accosted when they were alone. Both were apparently taken from bike paths. Both were found in the woods. Both had been partly concealed with debris from the surrounding forest.
"It's just too coincidental," said Sheila MacKINTOSH, the mother of two teenage girls who played in the same soccer league as Ms. TEAGUE.
As with many of the women who live near the spot where she was last seen, Ms. MacKINTOSH's daughters have found their freedom curtailed. They "don't take the bus alone and they don't walk two blocks" at night, she said yesterday when she stopped to view the crime scene. "It's definitely shaken them up, and shaken their Friends up."
Ms. TEAGUE's Friends are also, understandably, distraught. One of them who was with her on the night she vanished took reporters to task for suggesting that the slightly built teen was partly responsible for her own demise because she didn't spend eight dollars to take a taxi home.
"Jennifer didn't have eight dollars," she said, refusing to give her name and lambasting the news media for intruding on private grief. "And do I look like I have wheels?"
Matthew CLAYTON, another friend, had a hard time speaking after being told that it was indeed Ms. TEAGUE who had been found Sunday,
"We were hoping for the best, but I guess it just wasn't supposed to happen," he said, his voice breaking. "She was a great person."
The police acknowledge that, so far, they have no "persons of interest" in the case.
Yesterday, they trolled in hip waders through the area surrounding the spot where Ms. TEAGUE's body was found. Others paddled through it by canoe, pedalled the local roads and conducted overhead searches by helicopter. But they acknowledge that random crimes such as this are the hardest to solve -- and the most frightening.
"I am just afraid that no one can trust the neighbourhood any more," said Kelsey CARKNER, a teenager who was biking through the fast-food restaurant parking lot.

Missing teen murdered
Police identify body found in Ottawa wood
Girl's death sparks fear of possible serial killer
Canadian Press
Ottawa -- The case of a missing Ottawa teen is now a murder investigation, sparking fears by some that a serial killer may be on the loose.
Police confirmed yesterday that a body found near a hiking trail, just steps from a frequently used parking lot, is that of 18-year-old Jennifer TEAGUE, who disappeared on her way home from work September The body was partly covered in tree branches when it was found Sunday about five kilometres from the west-end restaurant where TEAGUE was last seen after working the late shift.
Investigators are not ruling out the possibility that a serial killer is responsible, but they said it doesn't immediately appear the case is related to that of another murdered Ottawa woman.
The▲ body of Ardeth WOOD, 27, was discovered more than two years ago near a path in the city's east end and police have yet to find her killer.
"At this point, I must stress that the two investigations do not appear to be related," Staff-Sgt. Monique ACKLAND said at a roadside news conference near where the body was discovered.
The cause of death was not immediately known and police would not reveal whether TEAGUE had been sexually assaulted, nor whether she was fully clothed when discovered. The identification was done through dental records.
"It will take... extensive forensic testing to obtain more information," said ACKLAND. " That▲ could take weeks."
TEAGUE disappeared shortly after heading home late at night from the Wendy's restaurant where she worked.
Wendy's Canada has a policy that forbids employees from leaving their place of work alone, said a spokeswoman.
But unlike some other fast food chains, it does not ensure employees are driven home in taxis or picked up by parents. The fast food chain is reviewing that policy.
"We are now in the process of reviewing our policies and procedures," said Sharon REID, who added that the corporation closely guards many details of its policies to protect employee safety.

Const. Bill McCUTCHEON: Leader of the band
Police officer led host of parades
At 6-foot-4, he had the carriage of a warrior
By Catherine DUNPHY, Obituary Writer
For years he was the leader of the parade. Metro Toronto Police Pipe Band drum major Bill McCUTCHEON was at the head of the Santa Claus parades, Labour Day parades, Warrior Day parades, Grey Cup parades, the march past at the Police Games, the opening of the Royal Winter Fair and Kitchener-Waterloo's Oktoberfests.
At the annual Police Games held on summer nights at the Canadian National Exhibition, he led the march past; during the popular Musical Ride, the force's mounted unit did the charge straight at McCUTCHEON, standing two or three paces ahead of his band. The crowd always erupted as the horses stopped at what looked like just 10 metres before the man holding his ground with his mace held high.
He loved the spectacle more than they did.
Six-foot-4, he had the carriage of a warrior, the thrown-back head of a lion leading his pride whether he was leading the parade past the mayor of small town Ontario or Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at the storied Braemar Royal Highland Gathering of Scotland.
"He was a great big strapping fine-looking man," said Jocko THOMAS, the Star's legendary police reporter. "Millions saw him leading parades."
"He looked really sharp in front of the band," said former band piper John BREMNER. "He was a great guy to follow."
BREMNER and McCUTCHEON were young police officers in neighbouring downtown precincts when they signed up for a newly revived Metro Toronto Pipe and Drum Band in 1964. Originally started by Thomas ROSS in 1912, the marching band was disbanded in 1939, when Canada went to war. In a nod to its history and its original founder, the new police band chose the red Ross plaid as its official tartan.
Within months of joining, McCUTCHEON was elected drum major, responsible for not only leading the parade but also for the "dress, deportment and discipline," as BREMNER put it, of the 40 to 50 members.
"He was a stickler for punctuality," BREMNER remembered. "If Bill promised to be there at 2 p.m., we moved at 2 p.m."
McCUTCHEON retired from the band in 1975, when he retired from the police -- "we wished he could have stayed with us," said BREMNER -- but he kept marching at the head of the pack for the Ontario Royal Canadian Legion Pipes, Drums and Colours.
A year earlier, he had been asked to lead the Legion massed bands at Florida's New Year's Eve Rose Bowl parade, a huge honour at a time when the streets were painted white for the televised nighttime parade. He returned two more times: in 1976 and then in 1991.
In 1978, McCUTCHEON led the Ontario Royal Canadian Legion Pipes, Drums and Colours along the 10-kilometre route of the Tournament of Roses Parade, lined with 1.5 million cheering spectators in California. They made repeat appearances in 1981, 1989 (when McCUTCHEON had just undergone treatment for cancer of the colon six weeks before) and in 1994.
They marched the dusty main street of Tijuana, Mexico, and in the Cavalcade Parade down Princes St. in Edinburgh. They were cheered at the Punch Bowl and Hula Bowl in Hawaii. The first time they appeared at Braemar, they marched past the Duke of Fife because Queen Elizabeth was mourning the assassination of her uncle, Lord Louis Mountbatten, but on their third tour of Scotland in 1990, it was the royal couple on the stand.
A local newspaper photographer caught Prince Philip leaning forward and peering at McCUTCHEON's medals when he was presented to the pair.
"It was Bill's police service medal and police war veteran medal, that's what Philip was interested in knowing about," said McCUTCHEON's wife, Hilda.
But McCUTCHEON's favourite parade was always Toronto's Santa Claus Parade. No contest.
His daughters would be bursting with pride.
"We'd scream from the sidelines when we saw him," said Karen ZWARYCH. "He always looked straight ahead, but he always gave us a wink. We knew he knew we were there."
"I would say to all the people next to us 'That's my Dad,' " said Janice FATTORE.
Sometimes, if there was a break in a parade, Hilda McCUTCHEON would tell her daughters, "Bet that's your father."
He loved making an entrance, even though he insisted in a 1975 interview for a police magazine that he wasn't "the type of show-off who struts like a peacock."
McCUTCHEON had a cache of stories: the time the band was marching at the Greenwood Race Track and they turned left and he went straight ahead, or the times he missed the toss of the mace.
"It's the guys in the band who make it the hardest on you, like the piper who has threatened to buy me a baseball glove," he told the police magazine.
In his memoirs, McCUTCHEON described marching in Nathan Phillips Square to mark Police Week. He was doing "the walk" manoeuvre with his mace -- stabbing the ground to the left and right as he marched -- when the mace became embedded in a crack between the concrete slabs. He kept right on marching without his mace, then turned the startled band around and led them back where he retrieved the mace on his return.
During another Yonge St. Daffodil Day parade, the mace slipped out of his hand and bounced down the road. When he bent to retrieve it, his feather helmet fell off. The crowd gave him an ovation as he caught it.
The son of a streetcar driver, McCUTCHEON grew up in west Toronto. He always loved uniforms: he belonged to the Boys Brigade and, when he was 17, he lied about his age to enlist in the air force but never saw any overseas action, much to his disgust. A neighbour suggested he join the police. The neighbour was Jack ACKROYD who would go on to become Toronto's chief of police. He loved being a police officer, but it was when he joined the pipe band and later the policemen's chorus that he combined both his passions. Possessed of a spectacular rich bass voice, he had long sung at church minstrel shows and as a soloist in the choir at then Westmoreland United Church. During his 28 years with the force, he sang the national anthem at the Police Games and was the soloist at the annual police Remembrance Day ceremony at Yorkminster United Church.
He sang at both daughters' weddings and, always, around the house. Until last October, he sang with the Seranato Singers, a seniors singing group, stopping only because he was having trouble breathing. Having survived a bypass in 1978, colon cancer and an operation for an aneurism in 1998, he died January 20 at age 78 of melanoma.
At his funeral, members of the Toronto police chief's ceremonial unit were honorary guards and fellow police war veterans the pallbearers. A piper played behind the hearse and at the gravesite.
The family buried him with the mace he had carried for more than 40 years.
It was their way to ensure that he got to lead his last parade.
