Charge upgraded to murder in death of Racquel Junio
ctvtoronto.ca
Gary Murray, 42, left, appears in a Brampton court to face an accessory to murder charge after the fact in connection with the death of Racquel Junio, Wednesday, Aug. 24, 2011.
Two men accused of abducting a Brampton, Ont. woman found dead last week appeared in court on Wednesday after learning their assault charges had been upgraded.
Macdermid Ermacora, 43, has been charged with first-degree murder and Gary Murray, 42, faces a charge of accessory to murder after the fact in connection with the death of Racquel Junio.
Both men also face charges of kidnapping and forcible confinement.
Junio, 42, went missing on Aug. 18 after police received a call that she had been forced into a black Ford pickup truck outside a home she shared with Ermacora, her estranged husband.
Her body was found in a pond in Palgrave, Ont., over the weekend, nearly 30 kilometers from her home. Police said her body showed obvious signs of trauma. An autopsy was conducted on Monday, but the results have not been made public.
Calvin Barry, Ermacora's lawyer, said the tragic event was traumatizing for everyone involved in the case, after Ermacora requested medical attention at Maplehurst Correctional Complex, where his is being held.
"A lot of people have conditions when they're in confined spaces and when they're dealing with these type of issues," he said.
Gary Batasar, Murray's lawyer, said his client has "got himself in a situation that we're going to fight vigorously and defend the case through the courts."
"It's very hard for us to believe what happened because he's not that kind of person," said Sandra Casciato, an acquaintance of Ermacora and Junio.
Casciato said she remembered Ermacora was upset in the weeks before his wife was killed.
"He was crying, he was upset that she was taking everything, he didn't know how to deal with it," she said.
Peel police have stressed that the investigation into Junio's death is still ongoing. Investigators have said that they are still trying to fill in a timeline of what happened the night she went missing.
Ermacora and Murray are both expected to return to a Brampton courtroom for a bail hearing on Aug. 29. Due to the severity of the charges, it's not expected it will be granted for the next few weeks or months.
Anyone who may have seen Ermacora's pickup truck on Thursday morning or anyone with more information is asked to call Peel Regional Police at 905- 453-3311 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Brampton man charged as search for missing wife resumes
2011/08/19 | Marcia Chen, CityNews.ca staff
Homicide detectives continued their search for a 42-year-old Brampton woman Friday morning, as a judge ordered her estranged husband to remain in custody.
Macdermid Ermacora, 43, has been charged with kidnapping, forcible confinement and assault in connection with the alleged abduction of Raquel Junio.
At the bail hearing in a Brampton court, Crown lawyer Steve Sherriff appealed to Ermacora to “come to his senses” and reveal Junio’s whereabouts. He called the case “most serious” and said he would seek a life sentence.
He will be back in court next Wednesday.
Police said Ermacora was checked into hospital on Thursday for a personal condition. Those who know him told CityNews he has suffered from mental illness in the past.
"He's very tired and everything happened so quickly. He is not guilty. It's an allegation," said Ermacora’s lawyer, Calvin Barry. "We have to see where it goes, it's very early in the investigation."
The search for Junio will include the Brampton area and Nottawasaga, northwest of Toronto, where Ermacora’s family reportedly has property.
Witnesses told police they saw Ermacora force Junio into a black pickup truck outside a home near Steeles Avenue East and Torbram Road before heading north early Thursday morning.
Officers arrested him near Queen Street East and Rutherford Road more than six hours later and found the vehicle nearby.
They are asking anyone who might have seen the truck between 1:30 a.m. and 7 a.m. Thursday to call them. Peel police released a video of the truck on Friday afternoon.
Junio is Filipina, five-feet-two-inches tall, weighs 120 pounds and has shoulder-length black hair and brown eyes.
Anyone with information should call Peel Regional Police at (905) 453-2121, ext. 2133 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
