Family says farewell to slain couple
'You shouldn't have to defend your name,' niece says, reacting
to Mexican allegations
By Jeff GRAY/GREY with a report from Timothy
APPLEBY and Canadian
PRESS,
Page A9
Woodbridge, Ontario -- At a funeral in front of hundreds of mourners,
the grieving niece of the suburban Toronto couple found slain
in their Mexican hotel room said her uncle should not have to
defend his name from beyond the grave.
"At this time, you shouldn't have to defend your name," Rosanna
IANIERO said in a eulogy at St. Clare of Assisi Church in Woodbridge,
addressing the late Domenico
IANIERO. "… There is only goodness
attached to it."
Her remarks, made in a brief, emotional speech about the
IANIEROs,
grandparents from Woodbridge whom she described as loving and
caring, appeared meant to respond to reports that Mexican investigators
have suggested the victims may have had links to "illicit activities."
On February 20, Mr.
IANIERO, a 59-year-old real-estate agent,
and his 55-year-old wife, Annunziata, were found with their throats
slit at an upscale Mayan Riviera resort near Cancun where their
daughter, Lily, was to have married on the beach.
While initially suspecting two Canadian women staying at the
hotel, Mexican investigators have shifted their focus to the
family and to people who knew the victims. York Regional Police
have been asked by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who are
working with Mexican authorities, to assist in the investigation,
and say they hope to start interviewing the 16-member wedding
party today. Others may be questioned as well.
As recently as Friday, Mexican lead prosecutor Bello Melchor
Rodriguez y Carrillo suggested that the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police had said "the slain person had ties with illicit activities."
The Mounties have said they have no evidence to link Mr. and
Mrs. IANIERO to organized crime.
Yesterday began with a ceremony at a funeral home. Outside, as
pallbearers prepared to lift the two wooden coffins into waiting
hearses, two white doves were released from a wicker basket to
symbolize the couple's souls ascending to heaven, followed by
the release of two dozen more doves meant to symbolize their
Friends and family.
Later, outside the large, recently constructed church, more than
a dozen television cameras and newspaper photographers with stepstools
and telephoto lenses captured mourners as they arrived.
More than 300 people filed into the church for the hour-long
service. The immediate family sat up front. son Anthony
IANIERO,
who spoke to the media after the killings, and his wife were
the first to take communion.
The couple's niece, a slender blond woman in a black dress and
the only direct member of the family to speak at the ceremony,
said that the
IANIEROs "dedicated their lives to the well-being
of their children" and touched many lives with their kindness.
"They loved nothing more than to be in a room filled with music,
laughter and the people they cared about," she said.
She described her aunt as an angel, her voice cracking: "I will
never forget how you loved my son… as though he was your own."
The slain couple, married for 37 years, had been "graceful" when
they danced. They both had been born in Italy but met in Canada
in 1964 after their families immigrated. They were married in
1968, and had one son and three daughters.
During the service, Reverend John
BOREAN alluded to the tragic nature
of the couple's deaths, and urged mourners to remember the Christian
ideal of forgiveness.
"I think we need to put forgiveness in our hearts for those people
who would have committed such a crime," he said, adding that
the criminals must be prevented from killing again.
Outside the church, however, many said the path to reconciliation
would be difficult to forge.
"We really celebrate the lives of two people today, but hopefully
one day we'll also celebrate justice," Liberal member of Parliament
Maurizio BEVILACQUA, who represents the riding of Vaughan, where
Woodbridge is located, said after the service.
There has been intense scrutiny of the Mexican authorities' handling
of the case. Witnesses: at the Barcelo Maya Beach Resort at the
time of the killing have raised concerns about the professionalism
of the Mexican police, some alleging that the crime scene was
contaminated. Mexican authorities had suggested two Thunder Bay
women were the killers, but no longer see them as suspects, sources
say.
Peter Van Loan, parliamentary secretary to Foreign Affairs Minister
Peter MacKay, attended the funeral and told reporters he was
satisfied with the investigation's progress.
York
Police
Inspector Les
YOUNG, who attended the funeral in
uniform, said the family is anxious to speak with police about
the case. "They're very concerned about the rumours and innuendoes,"
he said.

Four taxi drivers attacked in 24 hours
Father of four dead after passenger stabs him in the neck, back
and torso
By Timothy
APPLEBY,
Page▲▼
A24
A 40-year-old cab driver died after being stabbed by a passenger
in east Toronto early yesterday -- one in a wave of four attacks
on city-area taxi drivers within 24 hours.
Mahmood BHATTI, a father of four, was found bleeding from the
back, neck and chest at around 3: 30 a.m. after his Beck cab slammed
into the back of a parked car at Coxwell and Danforth Avenues.
He remained in hospital on life support, but doctors pronounced
him dead at 10: 20 p.m.
More than a dozen cabbies who gathered outside Saint Michael's
Hospital while Mr.
BHATTI's family were at his bedside mourned
him as a hard-working colleague and exemplary parent.
Beck general manager Gail
BECK-
SOUTER said the same of Mr.
BHATTI,
who owned his car and had driven for the company for about six
years.
"This is a real tragedy," she said. "He is a terrific guy, very
enthusiastic about business. Always wanting to make improvements
within the industry. The guy with the good ideas. He'll be sorely
missed."
A man was spotted fleeing the scene, and police are optimistic
digital photographs from the in-car camera, required in all city
taxis, will lead to an arrest.
In Markham, meanwhile, a second cab driver was in stable condition
after his throat was cut in a carjacking around midnight.
In a third incident on Eglinton Avenue in west-end Toronto at
around 5: 40 a.m., a cabbie driving for Royal Taxi was beaten
and robbed of his vehicle, apparently after an argument. The
car is a blue Chevrolet Impala bearing the licence plate
ABPF 744.
The driver was listed in stable condition.
And early Monday, a cabbie driving two men north on Highway 400
was robbed at gunpoint of cash and his phone and left stranded
by the roadside after his taxi was stolen.
It was later recovered at a curling rink in Bradford, about midway
between Toronto and Barrie, and provincial police retrieved photographs
of the two assailants.
The last slaying of a Toronto cab driver occurred in September,
after a gap of several years, when Morteazai
KHORASSANI, 42,
was stabbed in his parked taxi behind an apartment building on
Don Mills Road. A 19-year-old man has been charged with second-degree
murder.
In general, violence against the roughly 5,000 taxis and 10,000 drivers
has declined steeply in recent years, after cameras and other
safety measures were implemented.
"Crimes committed against cab drivers have decreased by about
70 per cent since 2000," said Jim
BELL, president of Diamond
Taxicab and a leader of the Toronto Taxicab Alliance, an owners
group.
Mr. BELL, who knows Mr.
BHATTI, credits a range of city initiatives
for the decline -- the in-car cameras, global positioning devices,
special emergency flashers and enhanced driver-safety training.
"This has been a tough day," he said. "But it's an anomaly. We've
seen it over the years where we've had a whole rash of incidents
in a very short time and then nothing happens for a couple of
years. You just can't predict when and how it's going to happen."
Bruce ROBERTSON, who heads the city's licensing division, concurred.
"This is a dangerous profession, for obvious reasons, but what's
happened here is not typical at all. I don't know what would
explain it."
Co-op driver Edward
LEIGHTON, a 16-year veteran of the roads,
says he figured out the risks long ago.
"I drive during the day, in the downtown, and I haven't had a
problem in 10 years," he said.
"Late at night -- that's where almost of the problems happen.
I'm cautious; I think that's why I've survived. I'm choosy about
what areas I go into. But a lot of drivers have big expenses,
they're desperate, so they'll pick up anybody."

No motive apparent in garage double killing
Scarborough deaths and fatal shooting in West End bring city
homicide total to 38
By Timothy
APPLEBY and Scott
ROBERTS,
Page▲
A10
Toronto's homicide total for the year has risen to 38 after a
middle-aged woman and a 31-year-old father of three were found
slain in a blood-soaked garage on a quiet Scarborough street.
The shooting took place late Wednesday. In an unrelated gun incident
earlier the same evening on the other side of the city, a man
newly released from prison was shot in the head. He died of his
injuries yesterday.
Both of the Scarborough victims, believed to be Canadians of
Filipino origin, were shot in the head and were discovered by
the man's wife when she returned home, police said. The relationship
between the two deceased was not clear, police said.
Two assailants believed to be Filipino or southern Asian, wearing
light-coloured shirts, were being sought.
Detective Mike
BARSKY of the homicide squad discounted widely
circulating suggestions that the female victim -- identified
by other police sources as Isabelita
MALEJANA, 56, of west-end
Toronto -- was a transsexual or transvestite. "I don't know where
that came from," he said.
A former neighbour said Ms.
MALEJANA was married with children.
The family used to live on Embro Drive, near Allen Road and Sheppard
Avenue.
"It's so sad that this happened," said Emily, who spoke on the
condition that her last name not be published. "She was very
quiet. She didn't come out of the house very much. The family
kept to themselves for the most part."
Emily said the family moved away from the area about a year-and-a-half
ago, but she didn't know where they had been planning to relocate.
Speculation that the crime was a murder-suicide is false, Det.
BARSKY
said. However, no motive was immediately apparent.
The second victim was identified as Virgilio
CUEVAS, whose wife
discovered the bodies at 58 Canoe Cres., near Steeles Avenue
and Markham Road, when she opened her garage door at around 8: 40 p.m.
and called 911.
Mr. CUEVAS and Ms.
MALEJANA were pronounced dead on arrival at
Sunnybrook hospital.
Neighbours described seeing a bloody scene inside the garage
after police arrived.
"I came outside and ran across the street and saw the police
running with their guns out," said Jupiter
ENGRACIA, who lives
down the street from the house.
"There was a body in the garage with blood spattered everywhere."
When emergency crews removed the other body, it was wrapped in
a blanket, Mr.
ENGRACIA said.
Ammunition was reported to have been found in the home, but police
said there was no sign of a gun at the crime scene.
The couple's three children, all believed to be under 5, were
in the house at the time and were uninjured.
Late in the evening, police removed them from the family home.
Neighbours said they often saw Mr.
CUEVAS playing outside with
his children.
Yesterday, police tape cordoned off the front yard of the home
as a police cruiser guarded the area. A lawn mower and three
small bicycles sat in the yard.
Neighbours said they were shocked that such a gruesome slaying
could happen in this quiet, newly built subdivision.
"This is scary; it's just two houses away," said Darwin
RUBIO,
"My wife wants to move…. This makes her want to move more so."
Separately on Wednesday night, a man in his 40s and just freed
from jail for breach of probation was also taken to Sunnybrook
hospital in critical condition.
Shot and wounded in an apartment above a bar on Weston Road near
Eglinton Avenue, he succumbed to his wounds yesterday.
The man's identity was not immediately released, pending notification
of relatives, but a friend who said she knew him well gave his
name as Gerald
McDONALD.
Four unidentified youths were spotted fleeing that crime scene.
The incident was the latest in a rash of recent fatal shootings
in the Weston Road area.
The three deaths push the city's firearms-related tally close
to the same number as was recorded this time last year. In total,
52 people died as a result of gunshot wounds in 2005, an all-time
high.

Love triangle suspected in double-slaying, suicide
Police theorize Swiss man may have found his girlfriend with
German
By Timothy
APPLEBY with reports from Omar EL
AKKAD and Naomi
BUCK,

Three European tourists found stabbed to death early Monday at
an expensive downtown Toronto hotel were slain in a double murder-suicide,
police confirmed yesterday, and likely perished in a deadly love
triangle.
Killed were Swiss nationals Nadja
WYRSCH, 24, and Andre
ASCHWANDEN,
35, along with German-born Thomas
KAUFMANN, 35, who also lived
in Switzerland.
Police believe Mr.
ASCHWANDEN killed Ms.
WYRSCH, his girlfriend,
and Mr. KAUFMANN and then turned his knife on himself.
Ms. WYRSCH was a biologist specializing in cytology, the study
of cells, while Mr.
ASCHWANDEN is believed to have been a salesman
for a fuel-injection company. Both were residents of Lucerne,
in central Switzerland, where German is the predominant language.
Ms. WYRSCH would have turned 25 yesterday.
Their friend, Mr.
KAUFMANN, lived near Bern, the Swiss capital,
where he worked at the University of Bern's veterinary clinic.
Together, the three flew to Toronto from Zurich on Sunday afternoon
and were part of a tour group of about 24 people -- mostly Germans
but also including some Swiss and French -- that was to tour
Canada for three weeks, visiting several large cities.
Ms. WYRSCH and Mr.
ASCHWANDEN knew Mr.
KAUFMANN, police believe,
which would explain why they agreed to share a room on the 19th floor
of the Delta Chelsea on downtown Gerrard Street, Canada's largest
hotel.
"We believe they all knew each other reasonably well," said Detective
Dan NIELSEN of the Toronto homicide squad.
As well, each of them appeared to have a hearing disability.
"The information we have is that at least two of them were hearing
impaired, and possibly all three," Det.
NIELSEN said. "We're
trying to verify that."
Ms. WYRSCH, who was on the board of LKH Switzerland, an association
for the deaf, was killed by stab wounds to the chest and a slash
to the neck, inflicted by a multibladed, Swiss army-type knife
that was found in the blood-soaked hotel room.
The same weapon was used to kill Mr.
KAUFMANN and Mr.
ASCHWANDEN,
both of whom died from stab wounds to the chest.
With no signs of forced entry to the room and no evidence of
robbery, the working theory of investigators is that the violence
stemmed from anger or jealousy.
Police believe Mr.
ASCHWANDEN may have unexpectedly discovered
his girlfriend and Mr.
KAUFMANN in the room together and that
he flew into a murderous rage.
Other guests on the 19th floor reported hearing loud arguing
and the sound of running.
A hotel security guard making his rounds shortly before 4: 30 a.m.
discovered Mr.
KAUFMANN on the floor of the corridor near one
of the elevators, reportedly clad only in a pair of boxer shorts,
after apparently fleeing the murder scene. He was taken to nearby
Saint Michael's Hospital, where he died shortly afterward.
A trail of blood led down the hallway to room 1908, where Ms.
WYRSCH's
body was found on the floor. That of Mr.
ASCHWANDEN was lying
on one of the beds. Police described the scene as horrific.
No other suspects are being sought and Det.
NIELSEN said he expects
the investigation to wrap up soon.
"We're still processing the [crime] scene and a few more witnesses,
but we're getting pretty close."
The three visitors were on a tour organized through the company
Jonview Canada, owned and operated by Transat A.T. Inc. of Montreal.
The double murder pushed Toronto's homicide total so far this
year to 46.
A Swiss relative of Ms.
WYRSCH, a farmer who said he had known
her since childhood and described her as "a good person," said
she knew several members of the tour group.
"She worked hard, she deserved the holiday. She didn't go on
holiday often…. It was a normal group tour."

Scarborough man, 22, was target, police say
By Armina LIGAYA and Timothy
APPLEBY,
Page
A13
Reynaldo SANTOS was letting the dog out early on Sunday morning
when he made a grisly discovery in his backyard.
Near the back door of the family's Scarborough home lay the lifeless
body of his 22-year-old son, Patrick.
An official police statement said the young Mr.
SANTOS showed
"obvious signs of trauma." A police source who asked not to be
identified said the young man's hands had been bound.
"We don't believe it was a random attack. We believe he was targeted,"
said Detective-Sergeant Dean
BURKS. A postmortem examination
has been conducted, but the cause of death has not been released.
While police believe Mr.
SANTOS was targeted, there's little
doubt that Piratheep
THARMAKULASINGAM, 25 -- slain just hours
after Mr. SANTOS's body was found and one of three people killed
on Sunday -- was singled out for death.
Mr. THARMAKULASINGAM was walking along Huntsmill Boulevard, near
Warden and McNicoll Avenues, when a car jumped the curb and hit
him, police said. The driver then jumped out, attacked him repeatedly
with a machete, hopped into the vehicle and fled.
Police responding to a 911 call at 10 a.m. found him injured
on the grass. He was taken to hospital and pronounced dead. A postmortem
examination showed Mr.
THARMAKULASINGAM died from "sharp force
injuries to the neck," police said.
A warrant has been issued for Sujan
ABEYEWARDENE, 19, of Richmond
Hill, on a charge of first-degree murder.
Also yesterday, police identified Christopher James
WHITE/WHYTE, 35,
as the third person killed Sunday. Mr.
WHITE/WHYTE, of no fixed address,
was on King Street West in Parkdale when he was shot to death.
On Bridlington Street, where the
SANTOS family lives, neighbours
say they were shocked to find their suburb swarming with police
early Sunday.
The SANTOS home, a white, sixties-era backsplit with a garden
and a swing set in the back, has been sealed with police tape.
"You think you live in a secluded pocket… you never think something
like this is going to happen here," said Wayne
BRIDGER, a retired
fireman who lives across the street.
The SANTOS family are "very nice, very friendly," but keep to
themselves, he said.

This Was Johnathon
In November 2003, Johnathon was beaten, thrown down the basement
stairs in his Toronto home and stabbed 71 times -- his throat
slashed. Yesterday, his mother sobbed as her only remaining child
was handed a life sentence for the murder. Another teen, nicknamed
Vampire Boy, was also sentenced as an adult for manslaughter
By Timothy
APPLEBY, Armina
LIGAYA and Hayley
MICK, Page A12
Toronto -- For close to three years he was the 12-year-old Toronto
boy with no face and only one name, cut and stabbed so ferociously
that he drowned in his own blood.
He was simply "Johnathan," his identity shielded because one
of the three teenagers accused of slaughtering him was his older
brother, 16 at the time. Identifying the brother would have contravened
provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act and so "Johnathan,"
much to the chagrin of his mother, was robbed not just of his
life, but also of his identity.
But as sentence was passed yesterday on two of the three accused
(the third was acquitted of all charges in February), a Superior
Court judge ruled that the horrendous circumstances demanded
the killers be dealt with as adults. And so, finally, the veil
was lifted and Johnathon Robert
MADDEN of Dawes Road, in Toronto's
east Danforth area, can be named and seen, as his mother had
asked the court.
Likewise unveiled are the two killers, Kevin
MADDEN, a hulking,
stone-faced figure, now almost 20, and his friend, Timothy
FERRIMAN,
nicknamed Vampire Boy for his professed fondness for sipping
blood.
"The facts are horrific," Mr. Justice David
McCOMBS concluded,
outlining what he described as "a hideous, senseless crime."
Mr. MADDEN was found guilty of first-degree murder in February
and yesterday was sentenced to life imprisonment for killing
his little brother in the family home, cutting and slicing his
face and neck 71 times with a butcher knife, severing both his
voice box and his carotid artery.
Mr. MADDEN was also convicted of trying to murder his stepfather,
Ralston CHAMPAGNIE, who was attacked with a knife and a baseball
bat when he returned home that same afternoon in November of
2003. For that, he received a concurrent 10-year prison term,
less three years spent in pretrial custody.
Two years of his life sentence will be served in a youth facility
and the balance in a federal penitentiary, Judge
McCOMBS ruled.
Behind bars since the day after Johnathon was slain, he will
be eligible to apply for parole in just over seven years.
Like all lifers, Mr.
MADDEN will be under supervision for the
rest of his days, if, or when, he goes free. He is not necessarily
beyond all hope, the judge said.
In keeping with his icy demeanour throughout the trial, Mr.
MADDEN
showed not a shred of emotion yesterday. Mr.
FERRIMAN, now 18 and
convicted of manslaughter for his role in Johnathon's death,
was slightly more animated, glancing around at the packed courtroom
where his father, Timothy, sat.
Unlike Mr.
MADDEN,
Mr.
FERRIMAN addressed the court during the
sentencing hearing, apologizing for what he had done. The judge
said yesterday he found the remorse of the "deeply disturbed"
young man to be credible.
Mr. FERRIMAN did not stab the boy but he handed Mr.
MADDEN the
murder weapon and he helped move Johnathon's body.
On top of time served, Mr.
FERRIMAN must spend two years less
a day in the youth prison system -- in which he is said to have
made significant rehabilitative progress -- followed by three
years probation.
The judge's comments during the trial were laced with sympathy
for the MADDEN family's ordeal of having one son murder another.
But for both prosecution and defence, the case was unusually
taxing.
The first trial was aborted midway through jury deliberations
after postings on a vampire-related Internet site -- the same
one patronized by Montreal's Dawson College killer -- cast doubt
on the veracity of a teenaged girl who was the Crown's key witness.
Fourteen years old at the time, the girl had tape-recorded a
telephone call in which the two killers had bragged of plans
to wipe out Mr.
MADDEN's family, beginning with Johnathon. Less
than an hour later, with the house vandalized and smashed up,
Johnathon's 45-kilogram (100-pound) body was stuffed in a basement
crawl space as the three accused awaited Mr.
CHAMPAGNIE's return.
All were arrested within 24 hours.
Mr. MADDEN never disputed killing his brother, who "adored" him,
their mother, Joanne
CHAMPAGNIE, said in a heart-wrenching victim-impact
statement.
Missing throughout the trial, however, was any persuasive insight
into how Mr.
MADDEN's rage boiled to such a peak that he wanted
to annihilate his family.
After the verdicts, emotions were mixed.
Lead prosecutor Hank
GOODY, who argued strenuously for adult
sentences, declined comment.
But Mr. MADDEN's lawyer, Robert
NUTTALL, who sought to have his
client sentenced as a youth, said he would appeal the ruling.
"I'm disappointed for Kevin, everybody agrees that Kevin is a
very troubled fellow," he said. "Kevin desperately needs treatment.
And unfortunately, he's not going to get it."
He described Mr.
MADDEN as a "deeply disturbed young man" --
not the psychopath perceived by Doctor Ian
SWAYZE, a psychiatrist
who examined him at length -- who would benefit from treatment
within the youth justice system. "If he doesn't get treatment,
he will remain a high risk to reoffend. The issue is, where's
he going to get the treatment? It sounds like the [penitentiary]
is not the place to get it."
John DENNIS,
Mr.
FERRIMAN's lawyer, called the past three years
"a roller coaster ride" and said he, too, would appeal the decision
to sentence the young men as adults.
Ms. CHAMPAGNIE said nothing.
Dressed in a ribbed beige sweater and dark pants and flanked
by supporters, she started dabbing at her eyes as she took her
seat in the first row, the same place she occupied for each day
of the sentencing hearing, listening attentively to Judge
McCOMBS.
Each time he alluded to the brutal murder, tears flowed, and
when he described how Mr.
FERRIMAN helped move the younger boy's
body, she held her eyes tightly shut.
Talk of Mr.
MADDEN's thoughts elicited a different reaction.
"[Kevin] has repeatedly stated that he has never loved anyone,
and has never felt love from anyone," the judge said.
Ms. CHAMPAGNIE looked down and shook her head.
And when the judge told the court that Mr.
MADDEN blames his
mother for not protecting him, she again shook her head.
She didn't react when Mr.
MADDEN's sentence was announced.
But she burst into tears when Judge
McCOMBS offered his condolences
to her family.
She wanted Johnathon's identity revealed, she told the trial
earlier, because she wanted him to be remembered -- to have a
face.
When she realized yesterday the publication ban could be lifted,
she exhaled a sigh of relief.
Homicide squad Detective Sergeant Terry
WARK, who became close
to the family throughout their ordeal, said later that Ms.
CHAMPAGNIE
was content with the outcome and still wants to be in Mr.
MADDEN's
life.
"But she realizes he needs help," Det. Sgt.
WARK said. "She's
happy that he'll be in a youth facility for the next two years,
because he has been getting a lot of help in there."
The judge's ruling was fair, he said. "He was very compassionate
to the family, but I think his sentence today was very helpful
to the two boys, and it also gets across the message of deterrence."
Dr. SWAYZE also voiced approval.
Mr. MADDEN, he said, is "salvageable to the extent that he's
relatively young, and he hasn't had a lifetime of entrenched
antisocial attitudes."
Johnathon and Kevin's biological father, also named Kevin
MADDEN
and estranged from Ms.
CHAMPAGNIE since 1993, had no comment
on the ruling.
After the sentencing, the brothers' aunt, Wendy
EBERHARDT, read
a statement on behalf of her family.
"We are relieved to see an end to the trial," she said. "We are
pleased that Kevin and Tim are going to get help with their problems.
We're relieved to have Johnathon's full name released, so that
we can now properly memorialize him."
'BF's 4-ever'
He'd grown up building forts, hurling mud pies with his Friends
and playing Little League.
Now he was 12, and larger horizons beckoned.
His voice was beginning to break, he'd started junior high and
girls were on his mind.
His best friend's grandmother recalled the fair, blue-eyed boy
plunking down at her kitchen table on a November day, three years
ago, and musing about a crush. Where should he take her for dinner?
he wondered.
None of it would come to pass.
A few weeks later, Johnathon
MADDEN was ambushed and stabbed
to death by his older brother Kevin, becoming Toronto's 59th
homicide victim of 2003.
Until yesterday, he could not be identified, because his name
would reveal those of his accused killers.
"He just had a sweetness about him," said the grandmother of
his best friend, Nathan. "We miss him."
Johnathon Robert
MADDEN was born in Toronto on May 11, 1991,
the second son of Joanne and Kevin
MADDEN.
The pair separated when Kevin was 7 and Johnathon 3. Their mother
remarried soon after the divorce.
The court heard that while a teenaged Kevin had problems in class,
at home and with the law, Johnathon led a happy childhood.
"Johnathon was a compassionate boy. He was worried about what
was going on in his family. And loved his brother," said the
woman, who did not want to be identified.
Johnathon and Nathan lived blocks apart in North York and, for
six years, they were inseparable. They built forts, attended
Raptors games with Johnathon's family and revelled in nicki-nicki-nine-door
"missions."
One weekend, they dotted Nathan's grandmother's yard with holes
and had mud fights.
The summer they were 9, they had a marathon number of sleepovers
that lasted three weeks.
On the last day of his life, Johnathon walked Nathan home after
a snowball fight.
Hours later, the boy was slashed to death by his brother in the
basement of his family home.
Nathan, 10 at the time of the killing, testified at two trials
held for his friend's accused killers. The first ended in a mistrial.
Johnathon's mother, now Ms.
CHAMPAGNIE, wants her son to be remembered,
and created a memorial website (http://www.johnathon-madden.memory-of.com).
In it, Johnathon is remembered as the boy with the big smile
who loved tacos, saltfish and making people laugh.
His aunt, Margo
ANDERSON, wrote: "To my nephew, may you enjoy
skateboarding with the angels."
A classmate wrote: "You always were the funny one in the class."
And Nathan
STEVENSON,
Johnathon's co-conspirator, mud-fight rival
and sleepover buddy, wrote that he misses his best friend, signing
it "BF's 4-ever."
Hayley Mick
'You just don't understand'
During the three years that homicide investigator Detective Sergeant
Terry WARK helped shape the prosecution case against Kevin
MADDEN,
the accused responded to his many questions just once.
"I said to him, 'Kevin, this was your brother. How could you
do this?' " the policeman recalled.
"And he said, 'You don't understand. It built up. You just don't
understand.' That's the only thing he ever said to me, he never
said another word."
Blond, tall and broad shouldered -- he weighed about 230 pounds
when he killed his young brother -- Mr.
MADDEN appeared to listen
carefully during his two murder trials, occasionally peering
around the room with his cold, flat eyes.
But he never testified and only once did he display any emotion.
That was when his mother, Joanne
CHAMPAGNIE, described her pain
and her love for both of her sons.
Her words left Mr.
MADDEN sobbing quietly, rocking in his chair
in the prisoners' box.
To the end, the teenaged killer was an enigma.
Mr. MADDEN's history -- moving from house to house after his
parents' marriage failed, habitual truancy at 10 different schools,
alcohol abuse that started at the age of 12, sharing his home
with a stepfather he hated -- offered some grim early warning
signs.
When he killed his 12-year-old brother, he was already on probation
over threats he had made to schoolmates
He also threatened to blow up one school. He was suspended at
least six times from the last high school he attended.
Some observers -- including the judge who sentenced him to life
imprisonment yesterday -- nonetheless see a glimmer of hope,
because of his youth.
So does his biological father.
"He's got ambition now," Kevin
MADDEN
Sr. told the court after
visiting his son in custody. "He wants to get good grades, wants
to be productive, he seems like a totally different person."
Prosecutor Hank
GOODY saw things entirely differently.
"Mr. MADDEN is now the same person psychologically as he was
November 23, 2003," he told the court. "And is likely to remain
the same psychologically for the foreseeable future."
And forensic psychiatrist Doctor Ian
SWAYZE painted a picture that
was alarming.
"He really is sort of a smouldering volcano, with steam coming
out of the vents," he testified.
"These explosions of anger are not out of character, not aberrant.
There's a cascade towards a terrible event… a path towards disaster."

Kenneth
Harper
In memory of Kenneth Harper
APPLETON.
Nothing can ever take away the love the heart holds dear,
Fond memories linger every day,
Remembrance keeps him near
In our hearts forever.
The depths of sorrow we can not tell,
Of the loss of one we love so well,
And while he sleeps a peaceful sleep,
His memory we shall always keep.
Orabelle PATTERSON, family and Friends.
