Landscaper ‘serial killer’: Remains of at least six people found in pot plants
The Canadian landscaper had a deal with an elderly couple to store his equipment on the property where the bodies were found.
Canadian police say they have found the remains of six people at a property connected to a suspected serial killer.
Landscaper Bruce McArthur (66) was charged with the deaths of five men near Toronto’s gay village in January.
Police previously uncovered the remains of three people in flowerpots on a property where he stored his tools .
On Thursday, that number went up to six. Police have identified one of the remains as belonging to Andrew Kinsman, who went missing in June last year.
McArthur is charged with first degree murder in the deaths of six people whose remains have been found in planters inside a nondescript property in the Toronto neighbourhood of Lisa.

McArthur had a deal with the home’s elderly residents to store his landscaping equipment there in exchange for free lawn care according to the authorities.
Police say the residents are free to return home now but investigators will continue to excavate the backyard for more remains.
They have asked anyone who hired MacArthur as a landscaper to contact them and are working with police in other jurisdictions.
Frozen winter temperatures mean it could take longer than a week to dig out the backyard.
