TORONTO — Police say a man wanted in an alleged 2010 Ontario murder has been arrested after flying into Toronto Pearson International Airport. 

Durham Regional Police say a 36-year-old man flying into the airport from South America was arrested on Jan. 31 and charged with second-degree murder and robbery. 

They say investigators went to the airport after they were contacted by the Canada Border Services Agency and Peel Region police about a man wanted for the 2010 murder of Derrick Brooks, who was 32 years old at the time. 

Police say the 36-year-old accused has no fixed address.

Police say Brooks and another man were found with serious injuries at an Oshawa, Ont., apartment after reports of a disturbance early on June 25, 2010. 

A news release issued by police at the time says officers did not immediately find any suspects and no arrests had been made. 

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Feb. 2, 2024.
