“Upon further investigation, officers determined the suspect was allegedly exercising control over aspects of the victim’s life and profited from it financially,” Peel Regional Police stated on Tuesday night (Jan. 31).
Tuesday, police say they carried out a search warrant in the hotel room, and officers located a .40-calibre Glock 27 Gen 5 handgun.
Michael Wilson, 21, of Mississauga and Kejwuan Hawley-Milton, a 24-year-old from Mississauga, each face multiple criminal counts. They were held for a bail hearing in a Brampton court.
