"Thrill Kill" Considered As Motive In Death Of Tim Bosma

The Toronto Sun is reporting that the death of Tim Bosma may have been a "thrill kill". In their article that was published Thursday, the paper says police have "a theory that it was about stealing a truck but also hurting somebody". The officer interviewed by the paper says that the police are looking at a small "close-knit group of friends" that were known to hang out together. They are still looking for at least two suspects; one who joined Bosma for the test drive and another who was driving a car that followed behind. The Sun reports one clue found at the rural scene where Bosma's remains were discovered is a portable farm incinerator that would typically be used to cremate dead farm animals. The officer said investigators are taking a look at some previous deaths including that of Dellen Millard's father, William who died of a gunshot wound to his eye last December. At the time, it was considered suicide but police say the coroner could request for that case to be looked at again. On Monday, Kijiji published a statement on their website sending their thoughts to the family and community of Ancaster. They also advised that they have been cooperating with the Hamilton police in their investigation. "We confirmed to the police that the ad posted by Mr. Bosma on Kijiji did not feature personal contact information, nor did it receive any replies, which determines the incident did not occur as result of his ad posting on Kijiji". Bosma had posted his ad on AutoTrader as well. AutoTrader has not released a statement at this time but have sent their condolences to the Bosma family and his community. Kijiji has also posted safety tips on their website for both buying and selling items online.
