The victims of a triple slaying in Ottawa will not be identified until at
least another a day as doctors began performing autopsies on the bodies,
police said Monday.

Investigators have found no apparent motive and no suspects in the weekend
slayings at an upscale, gated, condominium complex known for housing hockey
stars and professionals.

Police tape surrounds the site of a high-end condo complex in Ottawa on
Sunday, when the bodies of three people were found in a 10th-floor
apartment.

(Jonathan Hayward/Canadian Press) An elderly man, his wife and their
neighbour were found tied to chairs and beaten to death inside a condominium
on the 10th floor of the luxury tower on Riverside Drive.

They were discovered by a relative of the couple on Saturday morning.

Staff Sgt. Monique Perras said the autopsies, being conducted in Toronto,
might continue until Wednesday.

"We cannot officially identify the victim until the autopsies are
performed," Perras told CBCNews.ca on Monday.

Local media reports identified the couple as Alban and Raymonde Garon.

Alban, 77, was a chief justice at the federal Tax Court of Canada until his
retirement in 2004. The third person was identified in the reports as Jean
Marie Beniskos.

Alban Garon, former chief justice of the Tax Court of Canada, has been named
in media reports as one of the victims of a triple homicide, although police
say they can't be officially identified until autopsies are completed.

A brief biography on the court website says Garon was a law professor at the
University of Ottawa until 1992, and he practised law with the federal
Justice Department for a number of years.

He was also assistant deputy attorney general and associate deputy minister
of justice in the 1980s.

Perras said police have few details and asked anyone with information to
come forward.

"There is no known motive," Perras said. "And we do not have any suspects."

More than 15 officers scoured the area around the complex on Sunday, poking
every bit of the lawn with sticks and closely examining a flower garden.

A Montreal woman who was abducted from her home and later found beaten and
locked in the trunk of her car was in critical condition in hospital Monday.

Police were called to the woman's home on Cote-Sainte-Catherine in the
upscale neighbourhood of Outrement on Sunday when neighbours heard her
screaming as her car sped away at about 9:30 p.m ET.

The woman, reported to be about 50, was found in the trunk of her car two
hours later just a few blocks from her home, after police used a satellite
tracking system to locate the car.

Police spokesman Olivier Lapointe said the incident is being treated as
abduction and attempted murder, and there were no suspects.

The woman's name has not been released.
