Bright Lights, Big city...

...shattered family...

One day after a brutal attack left one woman dead and sent two others to hospital, Peel Police are waiting on an autopsy to determine how Helen Slichta, 71, was killed.

She was bludgeoned inside her own home on Glen Erin Dr. around 1am Saturday. It's not yet known what weapon was used, and the why may never be answered.

A 44-year-old woman was also assaulted. She was airlifted to a Toronto hospital where she remains in life-threatening condition. A 25-year-old woman also in the home was treated at a local hospital and released.

Officers have not commented on reports that the trio was a grandmother, mother and daughter.

UPDATE: In fuzzy-bunny socialist Ontario...

...there's no such thing as a bad boy...
Weekes, 59, who is known to Peel and Toronto police for a violence-related past, remains in hospital under guard. He was put on probation in March and April after being convicted of stalking and criminally harassing Stewart, court records state.

Court files show Weekes was acquitted June 24, 2004 on a Toronto assault case and had two charges withdrawn after being accused of choking and forcibly confining an unnamed victim.
