TORONTO - The prosecution says it has now turned over all its evidence to the defence of a Toronto man accused of being a serial killer.
They say lawyers for Bruce McArthur can now begin compiling their list of witnesses.
McArthur appeared by video link from a Toronto jail Friday, and his case was put over to July 23.
The 66-year-old self-employed landscaper is accused of killing men associated with the city's gay village.
He was arrested in January, and now faces eight counts of first-degree murder. Police allege he buried the remains of several victims in planters at the home of a client.
Meantime, the brother of Selim Esen - one of the victims alleged to have been killed by McArthur - is calling for a public inquiry into the police investigation of missing men in the village.
As recently as six weeks before McArthur's arrest in January, members of the Toronto police, including Chief Mark Saunders, said there was no indication the disappearance of several men from the village was the work of a serial killer.
Esen made the demand following McArthur's court appearance.
