The cousin who claimed that generic drug tycoon Barry Sherman wanted to kill his wife might not have been telling the truth, and on Friday afternoon, he told The Rush on Newstalk 1010 that he had absolutely nothing to do with their deaths.
Allegations from Kerry Winter were that Barry had tried to hire a hitman to have his partner Honey murdered but the plot was scuttled at the last moment.
Winter is the same cousin that was locked in a decade-long legal battle with Sherman over his business fortune.
Now, the Winter is walking his story way back after sitting down for a new interview.
The CBC's investigative reporters hooked Winter up to a polygraph - a so-called lie detector test that was supervised by a former detective.
Results of the test suggest Winter was lying about his allegation that Barry asked him to kill his wife.
Winter also admits that he "embellished" some of his story and that other parts are completely bogus.
On The Rush, he once again stated he was not involved in their deaths, but admitted "I don't feel sorry in the slightest that he died the way he died."
When asked if he understood how his words appeared to anyone else listening in on his conversation, he said those individuals "should know clearly that I had nothing to do with their demise."
He said something similar on The Fifth Estate, telling reporters that he probably had reasons to kill his cousin but insisted he had nothing to do with the murders.
Meantime, the Sherman family put out a written statement calling Winter's claims "outrageous" and "baseless."
They say they accept that the conclusion from Toronto Police investigators that their parents were murdered.
