OPP said the victim and accused were known to each other ­ there are unconfirmed reports they were brother and sister-inlaw and had lived in the upscale neighbourhood since 2006. No word if anyone else lived in the home, but one unidentified neighbour s a i d t h e v i c t i m 's husband did not live at the residence. The neighbour confirmed the accused was the victim's brother-in-law, and described the accused as a "schizophrenic." Myftari was arrested without incident by Peel police after a man fled the scene on Monday night in a silver BMW. On Wednesday, results of the post-mortem were not known, and police continue to restrict car and pedestrian movement on Gamble Lane to residents.
