Billionaire couple ‘were murdered’

Police have said they believe Canadian drug company billionaire businessman Barry Sherman and his wife were murdered.

Detective Sergeant Susan Gomes said investigators came to the conclusion after six weeks of inquiries.

The founder of drugmaker Apotex and his wife, Honey, were found dead in their mansion on 15 December. Police said then that the deaths were suspicious, but added that there were no signs of forced entry and they were not looking for suspects.

Police were previously quoted as saying that the deaths appeared to be the result of a murder-suicide.
