Toronto police release video of suspect in 2017 murders of billionaire couple Barry and Honey Sherman
Authorities in Canada have released video of a person they believe could have murdered a billionaire couple in their mansion four years ago.
The clip shows an individual walking on a snowy sidewalk outside the residence of Barry and Honey Sherman the same night they were killed. A real estate agent discovered the couple two days later on Dec. 15, 2017. They were hanging by belts from a railing circling their indoor pool, located in the basement of their three-story Toronto home.
“Through our investigation, we have been unable to determine what this individual’s purpose was in the neighborhood,” Det. Sgt. Brandon Price of the Toronto Police Service told reporters.
“The timing of this individual’s appearance is in line with when we believe the murders took place. Based on this evidence we’re classifying this individual as a suspect.”
After an exhaustive search through surveillance video in the area, Price said authorities have mostly eliminated everyone else who appears in the footage. He added law enforcement is incredibly confident the individual
While the person’s gender, race, and age cannot be determined from the video, Price asked to the public to pay particular attention to the “walk style,” pointing out the way they “kick up their right foot with every step.”
Barry Sherman founded Apotex in 1974 and turned it into one of the largest generic drugmakers before he stepping down as chief executive in 2012. He and his wife, Honey, were also well-known for their philanthropy, donating millions to hospitals, universities and Jewish organizations.
