Convicted wife-killer
BUXBAUM dies in jail
By Joe BELANGER, Sun Media, Sat., November 3, 2007
Helmuth BUXBAUM, a church-going, millionaire nursing home operator
whose double life of sex and drugs imploded with the contract
killing of his wife, has died.
Focus of one of Canada's most sensational murder trials in the
mid-1980s, he died in prison at age 67.
An official at Warkworth Institution near Peterborough said
BUXBAUM
died Thursday after being transferred to Kingston Penitentiary
Regional hospital because of unspecified health concerns.
Free
Press reporter Chip
MARTIN, who covered
BUXBAUM's trial
that ended with a life sentence for the murder of his wife, Hanna,
said he was struck by
BUXBAUM's double life. "On the one hand,
he was a very good family man, a very good businessman and, on
the surface, a very religious man and a leader in his faith community,"
said MARTIN.
"That he had a dark side to his personality -- that he could
hang around a bunch of low-lifes and let them exploit him for
money in exchange for drugs and sex -- was a real revelation,"
said MARTIN, author of Buxbaum: A Murderous Affair.
During the trial,
BUXBAUM, who had built a Komoka-based nursing
home empire from scratch, was described as a cocaine addict who
preferred the company of young prostitutes and was desperate
to do away with his wife, whom he found dull and unattractive.
MARTIN offered another description of Hanna.
"His wife was a wonderful woman and mother who stood up to him
and paid the price with her life."
BUXBAUM reportedly sold the business before his conviction for
$23 million.
The Crown's case centred on money, saying nearly $2 million had
disappeared from
BUXBAUM's bank account and that he had recently
taken out a $1-million life insurance policy on his wife.
Hanna BUXBAUM, 48, was shot in the head by a gunman at the side
of a highway in July 1984 while a nephew, Roy
BUXBAUM, sat in
the car.
They had stopped, supposedly to help people having car troubles.
It was later learned
BUXBAUM planned the killing earlier in the
day, but it was foiled when a police cruiser pulled up after
the cars had stopped on Highway 402.
They left and drove to Pearson International Airport to pick
up a nephew. The shooting was staged when they returned later
that day.
BUXBAUM denied he hired a drug dealer as the hit man.
But at trial, drug dealer Rob
BARRETT testified
BUXBAUM offered
$25,000 plus expenses and a house for someone to kill his wife.
BARRETT said he offered the contract to Pat
ALLEN, another London-area
drug dealer.
ALLEN, sentenced to eight years, testified he agreed
to perform the killing, but backed out and let Gary
FOSHAY take
over.
FOSHAY was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to
life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years.
In a later appeal, rejected by the Ontario Court of Appeal, the
defence argued
BUXBAUM was insane at the time of the killing
because of a stroke suffered two years earlier.
The nephew, Roy, who later sued
BUXBAUM, could not be reached
for comment.
Despite being behind prison walls,
BUXBAUM never quite faded
from the limelight, his name regularly resurfacing in the media
as recently as January 2005 in a documentary about his lawyer,
Eddie GREENSPAN, and
in June 2000, when a reporter wrote about
BUXBAUM advocating for the rights of seniors in prison.
In that story,
BUXBAUM said he still dreamt about reconciliation
with his six children and his grandchildren, but knew it wouldn't
be easy.
"After so many years, it's like I don't exist," he said. "I'm
an inconvenience. They've built their own lives and their own
careers. They don't need me."
In the article,
BUXBAUM complained about life in prison, especially
for seniors.
"There is no mercy in Canada,"
BUXBAUM said.
"We've lost our mercy, and these old people must die a lonely
death in prison."

Gunfire outbreak yields six casualties in 10 days
By Tim SHUFELT,
Page A9
The shooting of Munit
WALIA on Monday in the city's west end
capped off a 10-day outbreak of fatal gunfire, pushing the number
of gun-related homicides to levels not seen since the so-called
"year of the gun" in 2005.
Police found Mr.
WALIA, 27, around 9 p.m. in his car suffering
from multiple gunshot wounds in the Martingrove Road and Finch
Avenue West area. He was taken to Saint Michael's Hospital where
he was pronounced dead. Police are now investigating whether
he uttered the names of his attackers in the voice mail message
he was leaving his pregnant girlfriend moments before he was
shot.
Nobody has yet been charged in the death of Mr.
WALIA, as is
the case in four of the six shooting fatalities in the last 10 days.
The killing of Kimel
FOSTER, 21, outside the Town Talk Restaurant and
Bar near Vaughan Road and Oakwood Avenue, kicked off a bloody
weekend in the early morning hours of July 21. Mr.
FOSTER died
from multiple gunshot wounds to the chest and abdomen, while
a second victim survived.
The next morning, 11-year-old Ephraim
BROWN died from a bullet
to the neck, followed by the separate shootings of Shawn
JAMES
and Amin AAFI.
First-degree murder charges were laid against
two people last week in the death of Mr.
JAMES, 31, who police
say was killed by shots fired from the window of a Beck taxicab
near Wellesley and Sherbourne Streets. Police are still searching
for a third suspect.
Mr. AAFI, 24, arrived at hospital after shots rang out in Flirt
Lounge in the nightclub district. He died from a single gunshot
wound, while a second man was treated at hospital for a shot
to the leg.
The next casualty was 25-year-old Michael
GEORGE, described as
a well-liked aspiring rapper, who was targeted as he exited his
car in the Meadowvale Road and Finch Avenue West area on Sunday.
Mr. GEORGE was not known to police.
In addition to the arrests stemming from the death of Mr.
JAMES,
police have also charged two people with first-degree murder
in the Ephraim
BROWN case. The other homicides are under investigation
and police are searching for suspects.
