Arrested man dies in hospital
The Special Investigations Unit is probing the arrest of martial
artist Mitchell
KOH.
By Patrick
MALONEY, Free Press Reporter, Fri., September 22,
An accomplished martial artist and aspiring actor who was hospitalized
after he was arrested by London police has died.
Mitchell KOH, 34, died Wednesday, the Special Investigations
Unit, Ontario's police watchdog agency, announced yesterday.
The London man was taken to Victoria Hospital with critical injuries
after being arrested September 12.
"The focus remains the same," said Rose
BLISS, a spokesperson
with the Special Investigations Unit, which launched its probe
into the incident last week. "And that is to gather the facts
and come to an understanding… of what is now a death."
A post-mortem is scheduled for today.
London police were called about 6 a.m. September 12 to a 7-Eleven
store on Southdale Road where a man was "acting strangely," the
Special Investigations Unit said. He was reportedly carrying
two knives.
Three officers were involved in an "altercation" with the man,
who then showed signs of what the Special Investigations Unit
termed medical distress. He was taken to hospital, where he remained
in critical condition for more than a week.
London police declined comment on the case last week, citing
the Special Investigations Unit investigation.
The owner of a London martial arts studio yesterday recalled
KOH, who often trained there, as a friendly, quiet person with
a black belt in taekwondo.
"He was very friendly, very respectful," said Issam
THABIT, who
owns Integrity Taekwondo and learned of the death from
KOH's
family yesterday. "Everybody liked him, (but) at the same time
he was very quiet. He just comes in, trains."
Though his sister declined comment yesterday, according to an
online biography,
KOH attained his black belt five years ago.
He listed "information technology" as his occupation.
He also worked in films, playing the role of an assassin in the
1996 movie Expect No Mercy, starring well-known martial artist
Billy Blanks. He also had an uncredited part in the film Serendipity.
The online profile also included a personal quote: "Learning
to love yourself is the greatest love of all," it read.
The Special Investigations Unit is a provincial agency that investigates
whenever police are involved in incidents that cause serious
injury or death to civilians.
Two other incidents sparked Special Investigations Unit probes
in London this year: the arrest of a man on July 1 and a van
crash May 6 in which four people were hurt.
In both cases, London police were cleared of any wrongdoing.

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.

Man chased by car, hacked in 'set up' machete slaying
First-degree murder warrant issued
One of 3 homicides in 4½-hour period
By John DUNCANSON and Betsy
POWELL,
Staff
Reporter
Piratheep THARMAKULASINGAM was walking home, unaware someone
lay in wait.
He tried to run, but a man in a car chased the frightened unemployed
factory worker down a quiet Scarborough street around 10 a.m.
Sunday.
The driver then got out of the car and repeatedly hacked at
THARMAKULASINGAM's
head and body with a machete before fleeing.
THARMAKULASINGAM,
who was going through a marital separation, was found on the
lawn of a home on Huntsmill Blvd. The 25-year-old died in hospital
of severe neck wounds, one of three homicides in a 4½-hour period
early Sunday. He is to be cremated Thursday.
According to the dead man's brother, Suren, his older sibling
was attacked after he had left his "lover's" home after arguing
with her. Suren is convinced "Deep" was set up.
Police issued a first-degree murder warrant yesterday for Sujan
ABEYEWARDENE, 19, of Richmond Hill. Suren, 23, said his "much-loved"
brother didn't know the suspect, but the wanted man is the cousin
of his brother's lover, a former girlfriend.
"What's the motive? He didn't even know him (the suspect)," Suren
said as he gathered with Friends and family at their Chester
Le Boulevard home. "He hid his emotions. He only lived for us,
everyone loved him."
THARMAKULASINGAM's slaying, the 51st of the year, was the third
homicide to take place over a 4½ hour period Sunday morning.
The outburst of violence broke a relative calm in which there
had been only three other homicides in the past month.
There are nine fewer homicides compared to this time last year
and firearms slaying are down significantly.
The first homicide Sunday was a shooting some time before 5: 30 a.m.
at a three-storey Parkdale apartment known to be used by drug
addicts.
There they found Christopher James
WHITE/WHYTE, 35, shot in the head,

he died.
Detective Gary
GRINTON said
WHITE/WHYTE, who had an extensive criminal
record, was last seen at Dufferin and King Sts. around 6 p.m.
Saturday night. He was found shot on the second floor of the
building, which police know as a site where drug addicts hang
out.
Two▼ hours after
WHITE/WHYTE was shot, police in Scarborough received
a 911 call from a home on Bridlington Street, just off Bellamy Rd.
near Ellesmere Rd.
A father found his son, Patrick
SANTOS, dead in the family's
backyard just steps from the back door about 7: 30 a.m.

Slain man had been shot in head before
By Tracy HUFFMAN,
Crime
Reporter
Police found the drug addict standing on King St. W. suffering
from gunshot wounds to the head, arm and shoulder.
Two▲ years later that man -- Christopher James
WHITE/WHYTE -- was dying
on the floor of a flophouse in that same neighbourhood with another
gunshot wound to the head. That was Sunday morning. This time
he did not survive.
WHITE/WHYTE, 35, was well known in Parkdale, but homicide detectives
have very little information about where he was in the 12 hours
before the shooting, or who may be responsible for his murder.
"We have no witnesses. No motive," said Det. Dan
SHEPPARD of
the 5: 20 a.m. shooting.
Two▲ years ago, when police found
WHITE/WHYTE standing in the same neighbourhood
with gunshot wounds, he likely knew who shot him but refused
to help with the investigation,
SHEPPARD said.
WHITE/WHYTE's slaying is one of three unrelated homicides in a 4½-hour
period Sunday morning.
Two hours later on Bridlington Street, near Bellamy and Ellesmere
Rds., a man found his 22-year-old son, Patrick
SANTOS, dead in
the backyard of the family home. Police remain tight-lipped about
the investigation, the man's cause of death and the motive behind
the killing.
Around 10 a.m. a third man was killed, struck by a car and then
repeatedly stabbed with a machete by the driver. Piratheep
THARMAKULASINGAM,
25, collapsed in front of a home on Huntsmill Blvd., near Steeles
Ave. E. and Warden Ave.
A first-degree murder warrant has been issued for Sujan
ABEYEWARDENE,
19, of Richmond Hill. Homicide detectives plan to release a photograph
of the wanted man today after showing it to potential witnesses:
yesterday.
"We have checked his known addresses… his home address, his place
of employment," said homicide Det. Bill
VIEIRA. "He has not been
found."

A young man's murder still matters in T.O.
By Rosie DIMANNO
Sixteen police constables, maintaining a careful four-foot distance
from each other, set off on a bright and crisp day to conduct
a grid search of a Scarborough field that lies between two elementary
schools.
Just another Sunday morning in the city, but increasingly the
occasion for the launching of murder investigations, trying to
make sense out of another bloody mess arising from the evening
before.
These officers are looking for… anything, although the instructions
delivered emphasize the possibility of a small cellphone out
there somewhere.
No such phone -- possibly belonging to the 17-year-old male victim
whose remains have already been removed to the morgue -- was
discovered.
This was not a shooting, but it is most definitely a homicide,
Toronto's 10th murder in 2006.
Such has become the grim frequency of death by the gun in Toronto
that it comes as something of a homicide throwback when murder
by other means occurs when the deceased is a young male.
An autopsy this morning will likely determine cause of death.
A cursory examination of the body yesterday was sufficient to
reveal what was so palpably evident -- this teenager had suffered
blunt trauma injuries, primarily about the head, with evidence
indicating the unfortunate young man may have been beaten first
and run over by a vehicle afterwards.
A white van was seen driving across the field late Saturday night
and fresh tread marks on the ground reinforce that scenario.
Police are looking for that van -- make and model unknown --
but confident they will find it.
"I believe this one is going to come together shortly," Det.
John BIGGERSTAFF told The Star last night. "The van's going to
show up, the pieces will all fall into place. It's not like a
shooting, which are usually harder to piece together."
The victim is Kevin
PERSAUD, a teenager who had been working
a full-time job, living at home with his parents, who were in
devastated shock yesterday. There is no evidence Persaud was
ever "ganged-up," which is what comes immediately to mind when
young men are murdered in Toronto these days. Nor is there any
suggestion that this crime might have been provoked by ethnic
grudges in a neighbourhood where youths of Southeast Asian descent
are known to congregate, groups that have clashed violently before.
"I'm pretty sure that gang activity of any kind was not an issue
here," said
BIGGERSTAFF.
So what was the "issue"? Because a young man, little more than
a boy really, is dead. And, as
BIGGERSTAFF noted, "this was not
a random encounter, it was a planned and intentional act."
And, because every homicide matters. This is still a city where
murders matter and victims have names.
There are witnesses: who saw somebody running here on Saturday
night, just behind Cardinal Leger Catholic School, deep inside
this sleepy residential neighbourhood of house-proud properties
and tidily maintained lawns, where kids play basketball in the
driveway and couples walk their dogs.
It was a woman strolling with her dog across Canmore Park around
11 p.m. who came upon the body. Police from 43 Division received
the call at 11: 51 p.m. and cruisers were screeching to the scene
within minutes.
PERSAUD was lying in a pool of blood with obvious injuries to
the head. It remains for pathologists to try and determine whether
those blunt force injuries are responsible for
PERSAUD's death,
whether they were caused after being struck by the suspicious
van, or if he was already lifeless before the added trauma of
a hit-and-run.
The aforementioned cellphone, if it exists at all, was likely
the property of
PERSAUD, since he was known to own one and it
wasn't found with the body.
Much of the investigation will now hinge on the quite remarkable
talents of a reconstruction crew from the traffic unit. These
crime scene specialists are able to map out -- following the
trail of the tread marks and other clues embedded in the ground,
analyzing "static measurements" and tire patterns -- where the
vehicle came from and how it manoeuvred across the terrain.
A treadmark is nearly as conclusive as a fingerprint. But first,
police will need a van to compare those markings with.
Toronto has become, in its ripening, a city no longer shaken
to its roots by urban, or suburban, crime. Yet striking this
close to home -- as
PERSAUD's murder did in this particular neighbourhood
there is still an element of discomfiture, if not quite disbelief.
"Scary, but what can you do?" shrugged Wayne
POWELL, who lives
directly across the street from the school, in a house where
three children reside, one of them a Grade 8 student at Cardinal
Leger.
"There are always little groups of teenagers who hang around
behind the school at night. Not necessarily toughs or gangs,
maybe just kids looking to get into mischief."
But last summer, there was another beating death down at the
end of the road, and around the same time two people shot in
a car not far distant.
"Sometimes, it just feels like it's all closing in on you."
Chelsea McCORMICK, 13, sidles into the doorway and casts her
eyes towards her school. "I'll have to go there tomorrow. I'll
be afraid to walk where it happened."
Next door, Anoj
THAVARAJAH -- a Grade 7 student at Morrish Public
School, which is situated on the far edge of the field, just
beyond the baseball diamond -- says he was in his room playing
video games when all the ruckus began Saturday night.
"I'm not scared, exactly, but I think, that could have been my
brother. I mean, when you don't know why it happened."
His family only moved into this house last autumn. Anoj, 13,
recalls how his father once chased down a vandal who'd tossed
a brick through one of the windows when the house was still being
constructed.
"We hadn't even moved in yet and already somebody was throwing
bricks through the window. And then later, somebody took gasoline
and started a fire in some other houses just behind here that
were being built."
Petty vandalism, mischief-makers, bored kids. And then, on a
quiet Saturday night, a teenage boy gets murdered.
It matters.

Murder-suicide leaves 3 dead
By Canadian Press, Mon., November 6, 2006
Toronto -- A Toronto man jumped to his death from a ninth-floor
balcony early yesterday after calling police to say he had killed
his wife and teenage daughter.
Officers arrived at the family's east-end townhouse at about
3: 30 a.m. and found the bodies of a 36-year-old woman and her
14-year-old daughter.
The▼ woman, Malini
THAYAKUMAR, had obvious signs of trauma on
her body, possibly caused by a beating. The cause of death of
her daughter Neruuya won't be determined until an autopsy is
conducted.
Two other daughters, aged nine and 12, were in the house at the
time, but were unharmed.
The▼ 40-year-old man, identified by Friends as Kumar
THAYAKUMAR,
was found dead a block away at the base of an apartment building.
Det.-Sgt. Peter
CALLAGHAN said it's not known if the family had
a history of either domestic violence or mental illness.
"Apparently, what was happening between the couple was kept within
the couple, and other family members were unaware," he said.
CALLAGHAN also said it may never be known why the man killed
his eldest daughter and spared the two younger girls.
He said officers went to both addresses immediately after the
man called.
"From what I understand from the call takers, he was reasonably
calm when he was on the phone with them,"
CALLAGHAN said.
"He just indicated he killed his wife and his daughter, where
we could find him, and that he intended to take his own life."
CALLAGHAN said the call takers tried to talk the man out of jumping.

Man kills wife, daughter as 2 others sleep
Heads to in-laws, jumps off balcony
By Jim WILKES,
Staff
Reporter
An East York man killed his wife and 14-year-old daughter in
the family townhouse early yesterday, then jumped to his death
from the balcony of his in-laws' ninth-floor apartment nearby.
Homicide detectives said two other daughters, aged 9 and 12,
slept through the attack in a townhouse on Wakunda Pl., near
Victoria Park Ave. and Eglinton Ave.
Det.
Sgt.
Peter
CALLAGHAN said police were alerted to the slayings
when a man called a 911 operator about 3: 30 a.m. and said he'd
killed his wife and daughter and was about to kill himself.
The▲ father, identified by Friends as "Kumar"
THAYAKUMAR, 40,
apparently fled the family home after the attacks, crossed Parma
Park and entered the Sunrise Ave. apartment of his wife's parents,
from where he could look across to his own home.
CALLAGHAN said the grandparents were roused by the sound of
THAYAKUMAR
talking on the phone to police. They watched in horror as he
dropped the phone, opened the balcony door and hopped over the
edge.
"From what I understand from the call takers, he was reasonably
calm when he was on the phone with them,"
CALLAGHAN said.
"He just indicated that he'd killed his wife and his daughter,
where we could find them and that he intended to take his own
life. He told them specifically that he was trying to kill himself."
Family members told police they were unaware of problems in the
couple's relationship.
Officers arrived at both scenes about the same time. In the townhouse
they found Malini
THAYAKUMAR, 36, who had what
CALLAGHAN called
"obvious trauma" to her body and 14-year-old Neruuya, who had
no outward signs to show how she died. Attempts to revive them
were unsuccessful.
Autopsies were expected to take place today.
Outside the Sunrise Ave. apartment, police found
THAYAKUMAR's
body crumpled in a rear parking area beside garbage containers.
Pritiga THAYAKUMAR, 12, and her 9-year-old sister were led from
the townhouse by police so they wouldn't see the carnage inside.
They were in the care of relatives last night.
"They were completely unaware of what had taken place in the
home," CALLAGHAN said. "They were asleep at the time the officers
arrived."
The slayings stunned residents still reeling from a homicide
in their neighbourhood on Thanksgiving Day.
Kareme PARKS, 20, was slain on October 9, shot several times
in the head beside another apartment building on Sunrise Ave.
His family lives in a townhouse that backs onto the
THAYAKUMAR
unit on Wakunda Pl.
Tianna PARKS, 13, still grieving her brother's death, was also
mourning the death of Neruuya, who attended East York Collegiate,
but was a grade ahead of her last year at Gordon A. Brown Middle
School.
Neruuya wrote in the Grade 8 yearbook earlier this year that
she wanted "to go university and become a doctor."
"It's heartbreaking," Tianna said. "She was so young. She never
really got to do anything."
She said Neruuya was a good student and a prefect who monitored
hall activities at the school. "Whenever the teachers needed
a volunteer, she was always there to help," she said.
"I want to leave this neighbourhood as soon as possible because
it's really dangerous, it's scary. I just stay inside as much
as possible because it's not safe out here."
Friend Andreine
BROCK, 13, agreed. "I worry that I might get
killed next," she said. "I try to stay inside to be safe."
Neighbour Pratibha
TRIPATHI, 48-year-old mother of two, said
she was horrified at the deaths just down the walkway.
"It is so scary, so frightening, so sad," she said, holding hands
to her face to hide her tears. "You see them every day and then
they are just gone, just gone."
CALLAGHAN said he couldn't explain what sparks such deadly domestic
disputes. He said such slayings are not "a new phenomenon to
this city, to this country or to the community at large.
"This kind of thing goes on all the time… I don't think we ever
get used to this."
