CORNWALL, Ontario – A former Domtar employee in Cornwall has been arrested after being linked to an infamous Ottawa triple homicide, reports the Ottawa Citizen.

Ottawa police homicide detectives arrested Ian Bush following a court appearance Friday morning, the newspaper said.

Earlier this week the newspaper broke the story that suggested Bush is linked to the deaths of retired tax court judge Alban Garon, his wife, Raymonde, and their neighbour, Marie-Claire Beniskos, who were found dead eight years ago in the Garons’ home.

None of the allegations have been proven in court.

Bush, 59, who worked at Domtar in Cornwall in the late 1970s and 1980s had been undergoing a psychiatric assessment at the mental health facility since Dec. 20, when his family turned him in to face charges that he tried to kill Second World War veteran Ernest Côté in an attack that shocked the country.

In that case Bush was arrested by Ottawa police and faces six charges related to the robbery of Côté, a retired colonel and Second World War veteran.

Bush is self-employed as a human resources consultant but spent time in the 1970s and 1980s at Domtar in Cornwall.
