York Regional Police have charged two Toronto men with first-degree murder in a deadly "staged" home invasion that occurred in Markham last November.
In the Markham incident, a 53-year-old woman was fatally shot and her husband was wounded when three armed assailants broke into their home on Nov. 8, 2010.
The couple's 24-year-old daughter, Jennifer Pan, is accused of plotting the home invasion. She was previously charged with first-degree murder, attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
The daughter was tied up during the home invasion but wasn't harmed by the suspects, police said previously. She claimed she escaped the home and called police.
Pan was arrested two weeks later after attending her slain mother's funeral.
Police haven't disclosed the motive.
Investigators announced the new arrests at a press conference in Aurora on Friday afternoon.
31-year-old Eric Carty and 22-year-old David Mylvaganam are both charged with first degree murder, attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
Carty was arrested at the Maplehurst Detention Centre where he is awaiting trial on a charge of first degree murder in connection with a shooting in Toronto in December 2009.
Mylvaganam was arrested in the Jane and Finch area yesterday.
Homicide Det. Sgt. Larry Wilson says additional arrests are expected. He is urging those suspects to speak to a lawyer and surrender to police.
Anyone with information about the incident or the suspects is asked to call York Regional Police homicide detectives at 1-866-287-5025 ext. 7865 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.
