TORONTO Peel police have arrested a man after his wife was killed at a park in Brampton on Wednesday evening. At around 9 p.m., police responded to reports of an unconscious woman on a trail near Ross Road and Temple Hill Road, west of Dixie Road. Police said they received the 911 call from a passerby who located the victim on a pathway in a green space. When officers arrived, a woman was found suffering from obvious signs of trauma and she was later pronounced dead at the scene, investigators said. The homicide unit was called in to investigate. On Thursday, police identified the victim as 64-year-old Dalbir Randhawa, of Brampton.
TORONTO A rise in COVID-19 cases over the past two days has prompted Ontario s top doctor to warn the chances of an earlier reopening are looking less promising. Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. David Williams told reporters on Thursday he’s concerned about the recent uptick, and said it could be potentially attributed to the Victoria Day long weekend. Ontario confirmed 870 new cases of the novel coronavirus on Thursday, which comes after 699 new infections on Tuesday and 733 on Wednesday. Despite the daily uptick in cases, Ontario’s rolling seven-day average continues to drop and is currently at 940. I hope we don t have a continual rise over the weekend, Williams said. Getting over 1,000 again, that would be disappointing to say the least.
