   A new six-part series asks how serial killer Bruce McArthur   
   murdered eight people over seven years involving drugs, sex and   
   manipulation.   
      
   Documentary series Santa Claus: The Serial Killer explores the   
   case of Bruce McArthur, a Canadian landscape gardener who also   
   worked as a shopping mall Santa Claus.   
      
   Despite multiple encounters with police and even being given a   
   conditional sentence after a violent attack years earlier,   
   McArthur murdered eight men between 2010 and 2017. He was   
   eventually arrested during an operation by Toronto police and   
   investigators went on to find the body parts of his victims   
   hidden in plant pots in a suburban garden where he worked.   
      
   At trial, the 67-year-old pleaded guilty to eight counts of   
   first-degree murder for the killings.   
      
   His victims were Selim Esen, Andrew Kinsman, Majeed Kayhan, Dean   
   Lisowick, Kirushna Kumar Kanagaratnam, Abdulbasir Faizi,   
   Skandaraj Navaratnam and Soroush Mahmudi. Most had ties to   
   Toronto's Gay Village neighbourhood - and most were people of   
   Middle Eastern or South Asian decent.   
      
   But because McArthur pled guilty at trial, much of this evidence   
   of the case wasn’t heard in court.   
      
   For a BBC Three documentary series, I travelled to Toronto to   
   find out how Bruce McArthur killed eight people over seven   
   years, undetected. There, I spoke to people who knew McArthur,   
   the family and friends of his victims and a detective who had   
   suspicions police were dealing with a serial killer many years   
   before he was finally caught.   
      
   Secret lives of Bruce McArthur’s victims   
   Many of the men murdered by McArthur couldn’t always be honest   
   about who they were having sexual relationships with because of   
   things like their religious background. While making this   
   documentary series, I discovered that these are some of the many   
   things that made them vulnerable.   
      
   Krishna Kumar Kanagaratnam, for example, intentionally lived in   
   the shadows because his claim for asylum after fleeing Sri Lanka   
   had been rejected. He was never reported missing because his   
   friends and family feared that raising an alarm could land   
   Krishna in trouble.   
      
   Another victim, Abdulbasir Faizi, was of Afghan origin and had   
   come to Canada as an immigrant. He lived with his wife and   
   children and spent much of his time at work in a factory.   
      
   On the night he went missing, he visited a burger bar in   
   Toronto’s Gay Village as well as a gay sauna. Abdulbasir’s wife   
   is said to have been “really shocked” when she was told about   
   his movements on the night he was last seen. Like many of the   
   men McArthur targeted, Abdulbasir had a secret life.   
      
   Today, many members of Toronto’s Afghan community still struggle   
   to talk publicly about what happened to Abdulbasir and the other   
   Afghan Canadians targeted by McArthur. I found, through speaking   
   to family and friends of some of the victims, that was partly   
   down to taboos around sex and sexuality.   
      
   Victim Majeed Kayhan lived near the Church Street area of   
   Toronto, close to the Gay Village. He’d moved there after the   
   relationship with his wife broke down. They eventually divorced.   
      
   He was known as “Hameed” by his gay friends and and according to   
   them was in a relationship with a man, who was known to Majeed’s   
   family as his “roommate”.   
      
   Majeed’s nephew Saber says his uncle’s marriage didn’t work out   
   but he maintained good relations with his children. “He loved   
   his kids and had a good relationship with his wife,” says Saber.   
   “They had normal communication.”   
      
   Despite the accounts of Majeed’s relationship with a man, his   
   family say he was not gay.   
      
   “Absolutely not,” Saber adds. “I know him very well. He was more   
   man than any other person that I know. He was not into those   
   things. Maybe he was tricked into something.”   
      
   A lucky escape   
   One person who had a lucky escape from McArthur was Sean   
   Cribbin, who met him in July 2017. They’d met and exchanged
