Toronto Police officers have been accused of running a matchmaking service for violent crooks. The question now is how deep the rot goes

Give him this much. When he appeared before the media Thursday, Myron Demkiw sounded shook. And who can blame him? The Toronto police chief wasn’t announcing just any scandal, along with his colleagues from York Region. No, the rot Demkiw laid out — alleged corruption, organized crime, drug dealing, links to attempted murder — is the kind of stuff that can stain a department for generations.

“This is a painful and unsettling moment,” Demkiw said, his always gravelly voice nearly breaking. “It needs to be addressed openly and it needs to be addressed honestly.” Demkiw said that last word — honestly — staring straight down at his notes. It crackled as it came out of his mouth: honestly. He barely got it out.

Either the mandate had to be scrapped, or the punitive phase of the policy would have to be applied to dealers and manufacturers. Carney chose the former option.

Fears British woman, 71, who vanished while hiking in South Africa was killed for her body parts to be used in witchcraft

A British woman who vanished while hiking in South Africa may have been killed for her body parts to be used in witchcraft rituals, it is feared.

Lorna McSorley, 71, went missing in September after she and her partner of 30 years, 81-year-old Leon, left their hotel to go for a short walk from the Ghost Mountain Inn in the KwaZulu-Natal province to search for local wildlife.

On the walk, Leon found the heat and distance too difficult and left his partner carry on on her own.
