Toronto

Toronto Police have made an arrest in the Boxing Day killing of a woman inside an east-end apartment building.

Officers were called to 80 Alton Towers Circle in the Steeles Ave. E.-McCowan Rd. area last Thursday where they found the body of To Nu “Sandy” Hua, 64, inside a 17th-floor unit.

Patrick Wai Leung Lee, 61, of Toronto, is charged with second-degree murder.

Hua died from “sharp force injuries” to the body, according to a police statement.

Neighbour James Wong told the Toronto Sun last week that he had been watching television when he heard screaming coming from the hallway around 11:30 p.m. on the night of the slaying.

Wong entered the hallway to find a woman, who identified herself as the victim’s daughter-in-law, frantically telling him, “Someone murdered my mother-in-law ... She’s gone, she’s gone!”
