TORONTO — A mystery dead man from a disturbing photo released by police finally has a name as investigators laid an eighth murder charge against alleged serial killer Bruce McArthur.

Kirushna Kumar Kanagaratnam, 37, was killed between Sept 3, 2015 and Dec. 14, 2015, police said Monday in announcing the new first-degree murder charge against the 66-year-old former landscaper.

T0ronto Police Det.-Sgt. Hank Idsinga said Kanagaratnam doesn’t quite fit the profile of the seven other alleged McArthur victims.

“He was not on file as missing and there is no evidence to link him to the Gay Village,” Idsinga said.

“This doesn’t quite fit the profile we have seen before…we don’t know how he had contact with Bruce McArthur.”

Kanagaratnam, who arrived in Canada in 2010 from Sri Lanka and lived in Scarborough, had not been reported missing, according to police.

However, there were social media posts from family concerned for his well being.

One post on Facebook says “my brother is living in Canada” and has not been heard from for a year. It appeals for help and any information to find Kanagaratnam.

Police spokesman Meaghan Gray said Toronto investigators do not take reports, including those about missing people, over social media and that their accounts aren’t monitored 24/7.
