Court documents reveal more details about 2017 homicides of Barry and Honey Sherman
>The double homicide remains unsolved, but recently released court documents reveal more details about the discovery of the couple's bodies in December 2017 and that their son Jonathon told police the Shermans had enemies.
>Toronto police have said they have a number of people who they consider persons of interest and, in a statement to CBC News, insist the case hasn't gone cold.
>Their bodies sat side by side, legs outstretched with belts looped around their necks and attached to a pool railing.
>The ITOs show police have obtained warrants to search the Shermans' phone, bank and health information, as well as computers found in their home and Barry Sherman's office and lab at Apotex.
>The latest ITO, from February 2018, reveals police were investigating possible financial motives for the double homicide.
>In the weeks leading up to their deaths, Apotex lost a $500 million court case involving a drug patent. It had also just laid off numerous staff, and more cuts were coming.
>Stern, along with realtor Weidong Zhao and two of his clients, made the grim discovery as they wrapped up a showing of the two-storey mansion, which was for sale at the time and listed at $6.7 million.
>Zhao said his clients, who were from mainland China, considered it a bad omen to see the bodies and left the home before police arrived.
>According to the ITOs, Jonathon Sherman told police his parents "were complicated people and that there are people out there who would have a grudge against them and would have a reason to hurt them."
>Ontario's land registry records show the land was transferred to the Shermans' estate and children on Aug. 25, 2020. Two days later, it was sold.
the plot thickens.
