The Spec has an article on the murder of Daniel Baffoh, which earlier was classified as a disappearance, but the police are now calling a murder, charging Mark Langille of Upper Gage.
Interestingly, this may in fact by Hamilton's first murder, as the victim disappeared January 31st and is alleged to have died soon after, which is well before the other murder (of Tania Cowell, a solved domestic in Stoney Creek) so far in 2013, which was in March. Assuming no one else is murdered (or found to be murdered earlier) in March, that puts the city on pace for eight murders in 2013, well ahead of the five in 2012.
Also noteworthy is that the crime looks to have occurred on the Mountain in ward 6. That means no murders in the lower city proper (wards 1 to 5) so far in 2013.
