On Wednesday March 14, 2018, at approximately 11:00 a.m. police were called to a residence on Hilling Drive in Ajax after a female, who went to check on the wellbeing of her female friend, was met with a male at the residence. She was refused entry and the male left the area in a vehicle.
Officers arrived to discover the body of a 15-year-old male and the body of a 39-year-old female.
