Joseph George Sutherland, 62, from Moosonee, Ont., pleaded guilty in a Toronto court on Thursday to second-degree murder in the homicides of Susan Tice and Erin Gilmour – found dead in their respective homes four months apart in 1983.

The cold case files remained unsolved for decades until police used a new technology known as investigative genetic genealogy to identify Sutherland.

Sutherland was served with a DNA warrant in November 2022. After giving a blood sample, he told a friend who was a retired OPP officer about the police taking his DNA. He confessed to his friend about committing the two murders while he was living in Toronto.

Catherine McDonald reports on the trial and the reaction from the women’s families.
