Police make arrest in fatal assault of woman in apartment building elevator

Police have made an arrest in the fatal assault of a woman in an apartment building elevator and they say that there is a “sexual assault component” to their investigation.

The 66-year-old victim was found with obvious head trauma after officers were dispatched to a building near Weston Road and Lawrence Avenue West at around 6:45 p.m. on Friday for an unknown trouble call.

She was rushed to hospital but was pronounced dead some time later.

Karl Hoyes, 49, is shown in this handout photo. Hoyes is charged with first-degree murder in the death of a 66-year-old woman.

Police later identified the victim as Margaret Cameron, of Toronto.

Meanwhile a suspect, identified as 49-year-old Karl Hoyes, was taken into custody shortly after midnight. He has been charged with first-degree murder in the woman’s death.

“We are looking at a number of motives, one of them being a sexual assault component. We are still very early, we are less than 24 hours in but it is something we are looking into,” Det. Sgt. Rob North told reporters on Saturday morning.

North said that the suspect and the victim may have “had a loose circle of friends” and could have had some “very minor interaction” previously but were not otherwise known to one another.

The victim lived in the building, he said, while the suspect had previously lived in the building some time ago.
