Aug 29, 2024 | 9:52 AM

Police say a man wanted for first-degree murder in the death of a Toronto-area woman has fled Canada.

York Regional Police say border officials confirmed 47-year-old Zhixiong Marko Hu, of Markham, travelled to Hong Kong.

Yuk-Ying Anita Mui, a 56-year-old woman from Markham, Ont., was reported missing by her family on Aug. 9 and her burned remains were later found in Parry Sound, Ont.

Police say they believe Mui went missing from an address in Stouffville, Ont., where she had been conducting a real estate transaction, and that she was targeted.

York Region police have said Hu is facing a charge of first-degree murder and a Canada-wide warrant was issued for his arrest.
