Third man charged in murder of Toronto senior, police say

An investigation is underway following a suspicious death at 747 St. Clair Ave. W.

Police say another arrest has been made in connection with the murder of a Toronto senior found dead inside an apartment in the city’s Wychwood neighbourhood.

Officers were called to an apartment in the area of St. Clair Avenue West and Rushton Road at around 8:20 a.m. on Dec. 9, 2025.

A woman, later identified as 79-year-old Jolan Kun, was found dead inside a unit in the building.

Her death was classified as a homicide following a post-mortem examination, police said. Details about her cause of death were not publicly released.

In January, investigators confirmed that two arrests had been made in her murder. Ashton Drysdale, a 38-year-old Toronto man, was arrested and charged with a number of offences, including first-degree murder and possession of a firearm without a licence.

Kaream Hines, 38, of Toronto, was also arrested and charged with first-degree murder.

On June 8, investigators said a third man had been charged in the homicide.

Christopher Matthews, a 39-year-old Peterborough man, now faces one count of first-degree murder. Police said Matthews is also known as Andrew Christopher Chesson.

Police are asking anyone with additional information about the case to contact 416-808-7400 or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
