See what you mean- it was suggested in an earlier news release, iirc, that deceased was not necessarily murdered..

Ian Ohab's facebook. Apparently his wife died recently but he does not say what happened. Very very strange.

Did you read his message dated Feb 27th? Oh my!
I hope that it's not long before charges are laid.
Not sure if this might be related to this case or not, but ..

Murder degrees have always kind of confused me. By that, I mean first-degree murder v/s second-degree murder v/s third-degree murder v/s manslaughter, etc. I just noticed that the way I said it sounds like "going to school to learn how to kill people."
I looked around to see what exactly "second-degree murder" was in Canada. I didn't really like the answer I found...
"All murder that is not first degree murder is second degree murder."
While searching, I also came across a .pdf that is basically a detailed outline of Canadian criminal law.
It's a whopper (1231 pages), but that's probably because only half a page is used. One side has it in English and the other side has French.
Here are descriptions of the different degrees in the USA. It even gives hypothetical examples. Apparently, voluntary manslaughter is "third degree murder."

'She was my best friend,' mom testifies at trial of man charged in murder of Melissa Cooper | CBC News
"The trial of a man charged with first degree murder in the death and dismemberment of a 30-year-old Toronto woman in 2016 began Monday in Ontario Superior Court with emotional testimony from the victim's mother.
Melissa Cooper's remains — a partial torso — were found behind a butcher shop in the Broadview Avenue and Gerrard Street East area. The remains were discovered by a store employee who was doing a routine check of the premises. Her right arm was found on a conveyer belt at a recycling plant in North York but her head has never been found."
"The Crown's evidence is expected to show Ohab was seen at a nearby Home Hardware buying a hacksaw, and blood samples taken from his bathroom weren't ruled out as Cooper's.
Cooper's exact time of death and cause of death have never been determined."
"The defence is yet to make its case."

According to his testimony, the accused said the victim came to his place to borrow a crack pipe and she ultimately overdosed on crack cocaine in his apartment.
He testified that while the victim was doing drugs in his bathroom, he did heroin and passed out on his bed.
He claims when he woke up in the morning, he smelled vomit and found the lifeless body of the victim lying on the living room floor.
According to Ohab’s testimony, he tried to dump her body in a stairwell but he was startled by a neighbour. He then decided to dismember and dispose of Cooper’s body.
The trial is set to resume on Wednesday morning.

Crown asks for 25-year parole ineligibility for man convicted of killing Toronto woman
"Albert Ian Ohab yawned, smiled and interrupted the court proceedings a number of times during his sentencing hearing.
The 41-year-old was found guilty of second-degree murder in connection with the death of Melissa Cooper in 2016. The jury spent less than eight hours deliberating before returning with a verdict."
"Crown attorney Bev Richards read out a victim impact statement written by Cooper’s mother, Michelle Ball. Ball said her daughter had an addiction but she never gave up on her. Ball said the murder has destroyed her and “watching her daughter in the elevator (on video) was like watching a horror story. I wanted to jump up and scream, ‘Run.'”
Ball also said Ohab’s self-serving testimony was delivered without a hint of emotion or remorse in his voice."
"Akhtar told Klumak there is evidence that Cooper was beaten and said she was likely dismembered to conceal those injuries."
"Sentencing is scheduled to happen on April 24."
