Two additional men are facing charges in connection the disappearance and death of a Toronto-area woman whose remains were found in August, police say.
Yuk-Ying Anita Mui, a 56-year-old woman from Markham, was reported missing by her family on Aug. 9. Her burned remains were found three days later in the cottage country community of Parry Sound, Ont.
York Regional Police said Tuesday they have arrested a 24-year-old man from Oshawa and a 19-year-old man from Toronto in connection with Mui’s death.
Charges against the 19-year-old man, who was arrested on Dec. 4, include manslaughter, accessory to murder, forcible confinement and kidnapping, police said in a news release.
The 24-year-old man, who was arrested on Nov. 27, has been charged with indignity to a human body and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence, as well as multiple fraud and weapons-related charges.
A third man is still wanted for first-degree murder in Mui’s death. Police said in August they believe he’s no longer in Canada and travelled to Hong Kong.
Three youths — two 17-year-olds and one 16-year-old — have also been charged with firearms and fraud-related offences in connection with Mui’s case.
