Suspect in Toronto café double murder is fugitive with more than 50 convictions - National Post
When Jason Hay was sentenced for manslaughter in 2009 the judge called him an “amoral thug” and Hay called the judge a “faggot,” laughing at his “soft” sentence. This is the man police identified on Friday as the suspect in June’s brazen double murder inside a café north of Toronto. York Regional Police issued a Canada-wide warrant for Hay’s arrest late Friday, calling him “armed and dangerous” and suggesting friends were helping him evade authorities. Hay, 27, who goes by the street name Digit, had completed his sentence for manslaughter three months before the shooting inside Moka Espresso Bar & Gelato on Islington Avenue in Woodbridge on June 24 at 8:18 a. m. Maria Voci, 47, who worked at the... Hay was acquitted of first-degree murder but was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to seven years. At the sentencing, Justice Kenneth Langdon said Hay was “beyond any hope of redemption,” an assessment fuelled in part by Hay admitting on the stand that anyone cooperating with police was committing an “act of treason” and deserved to die. As he was taken away in chains, Hay remained defiant, calling out “F–k you, faggot” to the judge and laughing off his sentence as “soft,” according to press accounts. Source: news.nationalpost.com
