Sherman murder probe obtains seven more search warrants
(The Star Toronto Raptors)

Toronto homicide detectives have obtained seven more search warrants as part of their investigation into the targeted double murders of billionaire couple Barry and Honey Sherman, court documents show.“The investigation is still active and ongoing,” Detective Dennis Yim told a Toronto court last week during a hearing in which the Star was seeking information on the case. “Investigators are methodically reviewing material and pursuing different investigative avenues.”The seven new warrants bring to 28 the total number filed by police since last December. Some targets of previous warrants — cellular telephone and banking records — were made public, but these new warrants target locations that are too specific to release without compromising the investigation, a crown attorney told the court. The Star had argued at the hearing that a series of missteps by police — including the pursuit of the murder-suicide theory for six weeks and a similar delay in reviewing CCTV footage — were deserving of public oversight and at least a redacted version of all warrant documents and the police investigation notes that support them should be released.The strangled bodies of Apotex founder Barry Sherman and his wife Honey were discovered in their homes on Friday, December 15. It is likely they were killed the previous Wednesday evening.Ontario Court Justice Leslie Pringle acknowledged that there is a strong public interest in scrutinizing the actions of police, but for now has maintained the sealing order on the search warrant information, including about 220 pages of police interviews, crime scene photos, video and other information.Read more:Sherman cousins lose appeal for piece of drug company’s billionsHow the investigation into the deaths of Barry and Honey Sherman turned from murder-suicide to double homicideBarry Sherman was helping to develop ‘pot pill’ for medical marijuana usersPringle acknowledged the Sta ...
