Police identify sixth suspect in disappearance and death of Markham real estate agent

Police say they have arrested 19-year-old Javin Liu of Toronto and charged him with manslaughter and kidnapping in relation to the murder of a Markham realtor.

A sixth suspect has been charged in connection with the disappearance and death of a Markham real estate agent whose remains were found in Parry Sound this past summer, York Regional Police say.

Police previously said 56-year-old Yuk-Ying Anita Mui was first reported missing by her family on Aug. 9.

Her 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE450 SUV was found that same day in Scarborough, near Finch Avenue East and Warden Avenue.

Mui’s burned remains were discovered in Parry Sound three days later.

Investigators have not provided any information about a possible motive for Mui’s murder.

Police previously identified five suspects in connection with Mui’s death and on Friday, investigators announced that a sixth man is now facing charges.

The suspect, identified by police as 19-year-old Javin Lui, of Toronto, has been arrested and charged with manslaughter, accessory after the fact to murder, kidnapping, conspiracy to commit an indictable offence, and possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000.

Police said a Canada-wide warrant remains in effect for one of the suspects, 47-year-old Markham resident Zhixiong Marko Hu, who is wanted for first-degree murder.

Investigators have said they believe Hu fled to Hong Kong.

York Regional Police are asking anyone with additional information about the case to contact the homicide unit at 1-866-876-5423, ext. 7865 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS.
