Canadian billionaire Barry Sherman and his wife Honey, found hanging by belts near the basement pool in their Toronto mansion last month, were victims of a targeted attack that police are now treating as murders.

Toronto detectives, ending six weeks of speculation and conflicting reports swirling around the deaths, said Friday that the founder of Apotex Pharmaceutical Holdings Inc. and his wife were killed, ruling out possible suicides or a murder-suicide. Police have no suspects or motives in the case, and there was no sign of forced entry into the home.
