Murder Stats for 2006 for Major Canadian cities!!!!

liferanger · #1 Posted: **Jan 12, 2006, 8:23 PM**

Well, it's that time of year again..I know this is a grim topic but I found it very interesting over the last year to see the Homicide stats for major cities

Only a couple of weeks into the New year and Edmonton has two homicides in the city and another one where media states that a guy was shot in Edmonton and dumped on the other side of the city limits.....3 already...What does your city have????

Montreal, one, gangs related in a nightclub.

DrJoe · #3 Posted: **Jan 12, 2006, 8:51 PM**

Toronto has one. Happened just a few hours into 2006, nothing since.

Calgarians painted the town red on New Year's Eve this year. One promising (and beautiful, might I add) young woman was murdered outside a Kensington bar when a party-crasher drove the wrong way down a one-way street to hit her and a half-dozen of her friends right in front of the bar. Also, a young woman was killed in a notorious hit-and-run incident just west of the city. Three seperate cars hit the woman but none stopped.

Wow. Someone's "I will not run anyone over this year" resolution didn't last very long.

Toronto only 1 half way through january.

Amazing. We may only have 24 murders this year. cool.

But most murders happen in the summer. When fools hang outside of clubs and busy intersections. Dont be black in Toronto this summer , I think its going to be bad.

I hope those preachers get through to those young guys. Or else we may just lose hope.

That was in Morely, and it was not a homicide. It was a lot less "notorious" than the Herald etc led you to believe. The people who hit her- two at least- have come forward and explained that it was pitch black, it was dangerous to get out, and there is no reason to have expected that a human would be walking ILLEGALLY along that stretch.

Some guy popped his wife in Victoria earlier this month.

That's 1 so far.

Strangulation, but far from your usual domestic. Asian-Canadian couple with no history of domestic violence, no criminal record, affluent and middle-aged (they lived in a $500+ home, and had recently sold their last for over 700k). The suspect (the husband that Koz has already deemed guilty) called 911 from the home, arrested without incident.

Still, we'll take it!

The suspect here must be a forumer that tried to move the body to keep Edmonton's numbers down on this thread.

Every Edmonton forumer, please report to your local police station for voluntary DNA testing. If you don't show up we know you have something to hide.

I was trying to make it sound a little more exciting. I really want Calgary to do well in this thread this year!

So the dog did it or was this some sort of a sex act?

It might have been a sex act that indeed also involved the dog.

On this topic, does anyone have a list of Canadas major cities (top 20?) and the total murders last years or from years past

y2k_pony · #15 Posted: **Jan 13, 2006, 7:53 PM**

Windsor has 2.

rrskylar · #16 Posted: **Jan 13, 2006, 8:49 PM**

Glad a new string of the old thread was revived, murder stats seem to spark a lot of interest among Skyscraper forum members!

There's only been 1 in Windsor this year (the old guy that lived on McDougall Ave).

c'mon, canada! lets make it crazy gruesome this year!

Calgary appears to be keeping pace with Edmonton so far. We are up to 3 now as of this past weekend.

And I'm not sure if they are considering the New Year's Eve run down of the girl a homicide or not. the fellow in question has been charges with a number of offences included impaired driving causing death but I don't think he has been charged with murder.
