Ex-boyfriend held in body-parts case
BRAMPTON, Ont. -- The estranged boyfriend of a woman whose body parts were found scattered west of Toronto and near her home in the city has been charged in her death and dismemberment.
Peel Regional Police say Chun Qi Jiang, 40, of Toronto, appeared in a Brampton, Ont., courthouse Monday on a charge of second-degree murder. He was remanded in custody until Sept. 10.
Jiang, a construction labourer, had been in a four-year relationship with 41-year-old Guang Hua Liu that had recently ended, said police.
Liu was reported missing on Aug. 11, one day after her friends dropped her off in front of a now-defunct spa she owned in east Toronto. On Aug. 15, her right foot was found in the Credit River in Mississauga, Ont., about 45 kilometres west of her home.
Liu's head and hands were later discovered in the same river in the Hewick Meadows Park area. Days later, two calves, a thigh and an arm were found in West Highland Creek, just blocks from her home.
RCMP head to pay for honour guard
OTTAWA -- The head of the RCMP, who was brought in to revitalize and restore morale at the iconic national police force in November, has apologized for having an honour guard of on-duty Mounties at his wedding.
Commissioner Bob Paulson has issued an apology to the eight constables who were involved and to Canadians. He also says he'll reimburse the government $912 for the costs.
Paulson married Erin O'Gorman at an Ottawa church Aug. 16, with red-coated constables from the Musical Ride on hand for the ceremony.
An RCMP spokesman said Paulson had asked for some volunteers to participate and was not consulted about using on-duty Mounties. The spokesman said it's not unusual for such a guard to attend a member's wedding.
"I would like to apologize to the members and to Canadians," Paulson said in his statement.
