Ontario Provincial Police have launched a homicide investigation after two people were found dead inside a Kirkland Lake residence on Tuesday evening.
Members of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have launched a homicide investigation after two people were found dead inside a Kirkland Lake residence on Tuesday evening.
This comes less than two weeks after a man and a woman were killed in a home on Woods Street in the town.
On Aug. 8, shortly before 8 p.m., officers with the Kirkland Lake Detachment arrived at a residence on Kirkpatrick Street for a well-being check.
“Officers located two deceased individuals, one male and one female,” police said in a news release Wednesday.
Investigators said they believe there is no imminent threat to public safety.
“The investigation is in its early stages and no further details can be released at this time,” said police.
“Residents of the area should expect to see a large police presence.”
Admitted serial killer Jeremy Skibicki’s defence lawyers have argued the accused had a history of schizophrenic delusions culminating in ‘catastrophic circumstances,’ while Crown prosecutors say the killings of four vulnerable Indigenous women were driven by Skibicki’s racist views and deviant sexual urges.
