TORONTO – A Toronto man who evaded police for nearly a year is one of two people now charged with murder in the December death of an elderly woman. 

Police say officers executed a pair of search warrants this weekend and arrested two 38-year-old Toronto men who are both charged with first-degree murder. 

One of those men, who police say has been wanted since March, faces several other new drug and gun charges.

In March, Ontario Provincial Police said a countrywide arrest warrant had been issued after the man broke his parole while serving a nearly nine-year sentence on a robbery and several gun convictions. 

Toronto police say officers found 79-year-old Jolan Kun dead on Dec. 9 at an apartment near St. Clair Avenue and Rushton Road. 

Police have so far revealed no further details about the case.
