Police said they received a 911 call asking for a welfare check on people at a home in the area of Queen and Princess streets around 8 a.m. When officers arrived, they found the two people dead inside. Const. Mandeep Khatra, spokesman for Peel Regional Police, said homicide detectives have taken over the investigation. “We believe there is no threat to public safety at this time,” Khatra said. Police have not released information about the suspects.
A “happy, beautiful couple”
Halina Zygmund, a neighbor, said she had known the man and woman for about seven years. He said they had two children. One is a high school student, while the other is working, he said. Zygmund said they were a “happy, nice couple” but that they were both laid off from their Air Canada jobs at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport during the COVID-19 pandemic. He said they had worked there for almost 20 years. “I can’t believe it was them. It’s shocking to me,” he said. “When I came home, they were always happy and smiling.” He said he didn’t know they were in trouble. The woman did eyelashes and cleaned houses to make money after being laid off, while the man worked in construction, he added. Police are asking anyone with information about the case to call homicide detectives.
