(UTV|COLOMBO) – The Canadian billionaire couple found dead at their home in Toronto last month were murdered in a targeted killing, Police say.
The bodies of Barry, 75, and Honey Sherman, 70, were found on 15 December.
Police said on Friday no-one had been charged, and declined to comment on any suspects.
Barry Sherman, one of Canada’s richest men, and his wife were well-known for their philanthropy, and their sudden deaths stunned many in the country.
Media reports in the days after the couple’s bodies were discovered quoted police sources saying they were investigating a murder-suicide theory.
“I don’t know where that came from,” Toronto police detective Susan Gomes told reporters, adding that it was just one of several theories under consideration.
The new details of the case came on the same day that the pharmaceutical giant Apotex that Barry Sherman founded announced its CEO’s resignation.
