Canada’s most wanted list includes former Jamaican policeman

A former Jamaican policeman has been included on the list of eight most wanted suspects being sought by the Toronto Police Fugitive Squad.

The police believe that Peter Silvera who is wanted in Jamaica in connection with two deaths in 2004, fled to Canada, where he is in hiding.

The Squad says another fugitive, Gifton Cousins, is wanted for homicide in New York and has ties to Toronto and Jamaica.

The Toronto Police Fugitive Squad has eight investigators currently working on close to 1,000 active files from across Canada and around the world.

A spokesman said the squad normally does not publicize its targets, preferring the element of surprise.

However, the trails of the suspects on the list have gone cold and police are appealing to the public for information.
