On Aug. 31 of last year, 46-year-old Abdul Aleem Farooqi was shot and killed in his Vaughan home just after midnight. The shooter was part of a band of armed, masked intruders seeking to rob the house. In Welland on the same day, another home invader sexually abused a toddler as the parents slept; 25-year-old Daniel Senecal, a repeat sex offender on parole and known to police, was later charged.
