Two Teens Charged In Connection With City's First Murder Of 2008

Two teens, a 17-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl, have been charged with first-degree murder following the city's first homicide of the year.

The victim, a 14-year-old girl, was pronounced dead in hospital Tuesday night after suffering stab wounds to the abdomen.

Police arrested the 17-year-old suspect shortly before 5am at an apartment block on O'Connor Dr. near St. Clair Ave.

It took police some time to find the victim, who had fallen in a snowbank after running part way down a residential street near Northdale Boulevard and Hollinger Road. The 911 call apparently came in just after 6pm from a person identifying themselves as a friend of the girl, but when paramedics went to the address they couldn't locate her.

It was an off-duty cop who found the victim, but at that point it was too late to save her life.

No names have been released, and police haven't said what relationship, if any, the suspects and victim had. The identities of the accused are protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

It's the second year in a row the city's first murder has occurred on New Year's Day. Residents of the East York neighbourhood were shocked to hear about the death and the age of the victim, who was reportedly the daughter of two Toronto Police workers.

"She's a lovely girl and beautiful girl, and always walked by here and waved and smiled and even spoke to us," recalled neighbour Nancy Greene.

Another area resident, Elizabeth McFarlane, adds, "I just can't believe it. And what's especially shocking is the age of the girl. I'm in shock."

The suspects were due to make an appearance in court Wednesday.
