#BREAKING: Toronto Police have arrested Rohinie Bisesar, 40, in Scarborough.
She faces three charges.
[6]Rohinie Bisesar's lawyer said his client, held in custody on a second-degree murder charge, is like a "deer in the headlights" at the moment.
Bisesar, 40, is now charged with second-degree murder in connection with the death of 28-year-old Rosemarie Junor, who was stabbed inside a Shoppers Drug Mart in the downtown PATH system last week.
[7]The newly married victim, at a PATH Shoppers Drug Mart on a break from her medical office job, remains on life-support at St. Michael’s Hospital where her relatives released a statement: “The family is devastated.
She was just starting out her life.”
- [4]Bisesar, an MBA graduate, apparently confessed to the crime in an email to a newspaper in which she said she 'felt the need to be extreme'.
[1]Cops say she didn't know the victim and that it was a "completely random act of violence."
[2]Bisesar’s mental health had deteriorated.
She was hospitalized in 2014.
She was alienated from her family and she appeared to be increasingly paranoid.
Rohinie Bisesar smiled slightly as she was led into the prisoner's box Friday, dressed in a dark green sweatsuit.
She conferred with her lawyer but did not address the court.
[8]She will be held at a prison in Milton, Ont., until her next court appearance on Jan. 8.
Her lawyer said it has been hard to confer with his “meek and quiet” client while she has been in custody, surrounded by other prisoners.
Violent crimes committed against strangers are rare in Canada, with no more than a dozen people being murdered by strangers in Toronto, population 5.5 million, each year, according to the Toronto Star.
