Toronto police say they are looking for two people in connection with the violent murder of a Vaughan man who disappeared earlier this week.

The body of 32-year-old Sina Parsi was found at an apartment building in the area of Jane Street and St. Clair Avenue West late Friday night.

Police said Saturday that a New Brunswick man and a Quebec woman are now wanted for first-degree murder in connection with his death.

“We believe they have a 24 to 48 hour window of leaving the area,” Mahoney said, though he wouldn’t say when police believe Parsi died.

Parsi had been last seen leaving a soccer game in the area of Teston Road and Highway 400 on June 9 at around 10:15 p.m.

His vehicle and wallet were then located in a parking lot in the Jane Street and Alliance Avenue area in the early hours of June 11, but there was no sign of Parsi himself

On Friday police told CP24 that money was withdrawn from Parsi’s account after his disappearance, making the circumstances suspect.

Police also said that it was "out of character," for Parsi to disappear.

Mahoney said the missing persons investigation by York Regional Police led to the discovery of Parsi’s body inside an apartment at 230 Woolner Avenue.

Toronto police said they would not comment on the relationship between the suspects and Parsi.

“We do have what we believe is a motive but we’re not going to release that at the moment,”Det. Shawn Mahoney told reporters.

Mahoney said anyone with information about the pair is asked to contact police immediately. He also advised the two to contact a lawyer and turn themselves in as soon as possible.

He added that anyone who helps the two could face criminal charges themselves.

Clyde Marshall, 36, of New Brunswick and Sabrina Chouart, 27, of Gatineau, Quebec are both wanted for first-degree murder, police said.

Marshall is described as white, standing six feet tall and weighing 145 pounds. He has a thin build, brown short hair and blue eyes. He also has a tattoo on the right side of his neck and arm.

Chouart is described as white, standing five-foot-seven and weighing around 130 pounds. She has a thin build and brown hair.

Police said the two are believed to be together and may be in possession of a large brown dog, possibly a bull mastiff.

A number of photographs of the two were also released by police Saturday.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Sergeant Gary Giroux or Detective Sergeant Michael Patterson at 416-808-7400 at 416-808-7400 or call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
