Ex-boyfriend charged in Toronto killing

TORONTO, Aug. 27 (UPI) -- The former boyfriend of a woman whose body parts were discovered in two sections of metropolitan Toronto has been arrested, police said Monday.

Chun Qi Jiang, 40, was charged with second-degree murder after his arrest Sunday in the killing of Gua Huang Liu, 41, Peel Regional Police said.

Both the victim and the alleged killer are Canadian citizens of Chinese descent, the Canadian Broadcasting Company reported.

Peel police confirmed last week it was Gua's remains that were found, two weeks ago. A severed head, a foot, two hands and other body parts were found in the Credit River in Mississauga and in Highland Creek in Toronto, both areas of Greater Toronto.
