Ontario couple who disappeared earlier this month were murdered, police say

A Canada-wide warrant has been issued for a man who police say fled the Toronto area after allegedly killing an Ontario couple that disappeared earlier this month.

A warrant has been issued for Toronto man Phuong Tan Nguyen, who police say should be considered armed and dangerous.

He is wanted for two counts of first-degree murder.

Kristy Nguyen, 25, and Quoc Tran, 37, of Markham, Ont., went missing on Sept. 18.

Investigators with York Regional Police said Tuesday that Nguyen and Tran are believed to be victims of foul play in a targeted attack.
