Tommy's older sister, 22-year-old Iliada Zois, known as Lois to her family and friends, was already dead, brutally attacked by an enraged man who police say was her common-law spouse.

Nana Yaw, 27, is charged with two counts of second-degree murder, one count of attempt murder and one count of forcible confinement. Grinton said he made "metal brackets" for a living.

Lois and Jamie Zois are Toronto's 83rd and 84th homicides of the year.

The record is 89, set in 1991.

Should we give you a "Toronto Violence" forum of your very own? You could post all your articles there that you don't actually want to discuss.

It seems to me that the issue is violence against women, not "Toronto violence" and that discussion ought to follow from information not replace it. Your start is debatable.Male murders of women and youths in Quebec - 2007

Actually, Martin, for Nakajima, it is about "Toronto violence":

You seem overly protective of Toronto for some reason.

Not the way I read it. She addresses the accusation, but the label is not hers. But to address the underlying issue, just what is intrinsically RW about concern over violence?

It wasn't my comment.

My comment was about this "Monkey with a wrench" dropping articles all over without ever mentioning why.
