But that is exactly what happened to the 14-year-old boy.

He was found dead as a result of a trauma Friday morning along a path leading to a local playground and schoolyard near Hartington Ct. — just 200 metres from his family’s Truscott Dr. home.

He is Peel Region’s 25th homicide of 2018.

“We won’t be discussing evidence or potential motives at this time but I can say this was senseless,” Peel Regional Police Insp. Martin Ottaway, who heads up the homicide squad, said Friday.

Officers responded to the discovery of the boy at about 8 a.m., but it is believed he was likely stabbed to death just after midnight.

Homicide detectives are keeping their cards close to their chest. But the Sun has learned they are looking for more than one suspects in this case.
