A Toronto police dive team will be searching part of the Humber River in Kleinburg this morning as the investigation into the murder of Dr. Elana Fric-Shamji continues.
The body of Fric-Shamji was found near Nashville and Stevenson Road in the vicinity of the Humber River last Thursday afternoon. Her neurosuregon husband, Mohammed Shamji, was then arrested last Friday and charged with first-degree murder in connection with her death.
Police have said that they believe Fric-Shamji was killed at her home in the Bathurst Street and Sheppard Avenue area sometime between the evening of Nov. 30 and the morning of Dec. 1. The cause of death was strangulation and blunt force trauma to the head.
Friends and family who spoke to investigators on Monday said Fric-Shamji was in an abusive relationship with her husband, a source close to the investigation previosuly told CTV News Toronto.
Police say that they are searching the area where Fric-Shamji’s body was found today in the hopes of finding other property that may have belonged to her.
The search is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m.
