Preying on vulnerable? Torture suspects charged in 2nd case
February 21st, 2009From the [Toronto] Globe and Mail:
Hamilton [Ontario] police are broadening their investigation after a couple accused of kidnapping and torturing a mentally handicapped man were yesterday charged with beating and robbing another handicapped victim two months earlier.
Superintendent Bill Stewart said officers were able to quickly link the two crimes because of their similarity, and are now looking into the possibility that there was a wider pattern of preying on the vulnerable.
“There were similarities in the type of victim, being disabled, and similarities in some of the circumstances surrounding the incident,” Supt. Stewart said.
