Toronto police say they expect to lay more charges after announcing Thursday that they have found the remains of six people buried in planters at a home in an upscale neighbourhood where an alleged serial killer worked as a landscaper.

Homicide Det. Sgt. Hank Idsinga said police have identified at least one set of skeletal remains as belonging to Andrew Kinsman, one of five men Bruce McArthur is accused of murdering, but said investigators are still working to determine who the other alleged victims are. That could bring the number of victims to at least six or as many as 10.

“I do anticipate more charges. I don’t have a timetable for that, I don’t have a number for that, but I would expect more charges will eventually be laid,” Idsinga said outside the home on Mallory Crescent in the city’s Leaside neighbourhood.

McArthur, 66, was initially charged with the first-degree murders of Kinsman, who was involved in a sexual relationship him, and Selim Esen, 44, on Jan. 18. Eleven days later, police charged McArthur for the first-degree murders of Majeed Kayhan, 58, Soroush Mahmudi, 50, and Dean Lisowick, 47. All but Mahmudi had been missing from Toronto’s gay village since as early as 2012. Lisowick was the only victim who was never reported missing. The alleged murders took place in more than one location, Idsinga said.
