CBC14-07-2025
A man has been arrested in connection with the murder of his mother and grandmother in Etobicoke last summer, police say.
On Aug. 23, 2024, police were called to a home in the area of Sheldon and Silvercrest avenues for a well-being check, Toronto police said in a news release Monday.
When officers arrived, they found two women injured in the home. They were pronounced dead at the scene.
The two victims were identified as Sharon Fraser, 60, and Colleen Fraser, 82, both of Toronto, police said.
Police said last year that they were searching for a male suspect that was considered dangerous.
On Monday, police said Joseph Ayala, 34, from Toronto, had been arrested and charged with two counts of second-degree murder.
The man was the son of one woman and the grandson of the other, police told CBC News.
Police have not determined a motive for the deaths.
