The sex-trade workers, known to people in the area, had both been shot.

Homicide Cold Case Detective Sergeant Stacy Gallant is being joined by members of the victims' families in a video appeal for information on the cold case.

Gallant said the women were last seen alive 12 hours earlier in the Parliament Street and Dundas Street East area.

The motive for the killings is still unknown.”
