An incinerator has been found at a farm owned by the man accused of murdering Tim Bosma, the homicide detective in charge of the investigation has confirmed.But police are not certain if it was used to burn the Ancaster man’s body, said Hamilton police Det. Sgt. Matt Kavanagh.
Kavanagh said forensic officers are trying to determine if the incinerator found on the property belonging to Dellen Millard in North Dumfries was used in connection with Bosma’s murder or the disposal of his body.
He added that police have still not determined where Bosma was killed. He has previously said that his body was burned beyond recognition.
Officers continue to scour the North Dumfries farm property but will likely finish there on Friday, Kavanagh said.
The search for Bosma led to the Roseville Road farm on Monday — a week to the day the Ancaster man went missing after taking two men for a test drive in the truck he was trying to sell.
The farm is one of two properties in Waterloo Region — the second is a hangar at Waterloo International Airport — that are being searched as part of the ongoing Bosma homicide investigation.
Police have said Bosma’s burned body was found in Waterloo Region but haven’t said where.
On Wednesday afternoon, two men working on a nearby farm confirmed that the younger of the two took a photo of what appears to be an incinerator on Millard’s property. The men, who did not want to be identified, said police have since seized the phone with the photo on it and told them not to speak to media about the image.
Millard bought the farm in an all-cash deal in May 2011. He purchased it for $835,000. Reported by Toronto Star 2 hours ago.
