A 30-year-old Toronto woman has been arrested and charged with murder in the separate deaths of three people in Toronto, Niagara Falls and Hamilton, according to the Toronto police.
In a news release on Friday, police said the deaths happened in the Keele Street and Dundas Street W. area in Toronto on Oct. 1, in John Allan Park on Kalar Road near McLeod Road in Niagara Falls on Oct. 2 and the the parking lot of 209 MacNab St. N. in Hamilton on Oct. 3.
Niagara Regional Police and Hamilton Police Service said the victims are an unidentified woman believed to be in her 60s in Toronto, a man, 47, identified as Lance Cunningham in Niagara Falls, and a man, 77, identified as Mario Bilich in Hamilton.
Sabrina Kauldhar has been charged with second-degree murder in the Toronto death, second-degree murder in the Niagara Falls death and first-degree murder in the Hamilton death.
Police said investigators were able to link the Hamilton death to the Niagara Falls, after they determined that the suspect matched the description in both cases. Investigators later linked the suspect to the Toronto death.
Police added that investigators believe Mario Bilich and Lance Cunningham were randomly targeted, while the Toronto victim was known to the suspect.
Niagara police arrested Kauldhar in the Burlington area at a hotel on Oct. 3 at 5:45 p.m. and then charged her with all three murders.
In Toronto on Oct. 1, police were called at 2:08 p.m.to the Keele Street and Dundas Street W. area after it was reported that a woman in her 60s was found dead in a home with "visible trauma to her body."
