Three headline-grabbing Hamilton homicides, all female victims:

Audrey Gleave, a 73-year-old retired teacher and Ancaster resident is killed in "brutal sex slaying" and a 50-year-old schizophrenic homeless man arrested six weeks after the victim's body is found.

Elham Dashti, a 31-year-old Iranian woman working in downtown Hamilton, is savagely attacked and fatally wounded, left for dead one block from police headquarters. There is no arrest for seven months. When the Iranian government calls for “swift and serious legal pursuit”, within seven days a 25-year-old transient is arrested and charged with her murder.
