A single mother from Toronto was reported missing just days before parts of her body were found in two separate cities, police said Tuesday.Peel Regional Police say that DNA testing has confirmed that the body parts found in Mississauga and Toronto in recent days belong to Hua Guang Liu, 41, of Scarborough.

Insp. George Koekkoek told reporters Tuesday that Liu was last seen alive on Aug. 10 and was reported missing the following day by friends. Her foot was found in the Credit River on Aug. 15.

Peel Regional Police say they have identified Hua Guang Liu, 41, of Scarborough, as the victim. (Peel Regional Police)Liu, a Canadian citizen of Chinese descent, was a single mother of three.

He said police have executed search warrants in their investigation, including at a motel in Scarborough. "We are working on suspect information," he said. Police are treating Liu's death as a homicide.

"We have no reason to believe that this is anything other than an isolated case and that's the focus of our investigation thus far," Koekkoek said. "We're satisfied to this stage that there's no threat or danger to the public safety. If we have information to the contrary we'll be the first to advise."

Helen Savo-Sardaro, the building manager for the complex where the spa was located on Eglinton Avenue, told CBC News that police told her that Liu left the spa at 5:30 p.m. on the day she disappeared. Savo-Sardaro was also a client at the spa. She said Liu ran a legitimate business and was very professional.

A few doors down, Jong Soon Suh became tearful over the news about Liu's death. Suh said a Caucasian man came into her store last week with a missing poster of Liu. He was visibly upset and said that Liu was his girlfriend.

She said the spa had been owned by a married couple for the past few years until they sold it to Liu in May so they could go back to China. Suh said the new owner mostly kept to herself.

Friends said Liu was planning to sell the spa after only a few months in business and, the evening she went missing, was scheduled to meet a prospective buyer, CBC's Jeff Semple reported.

CBC News has also learned that police are investigating whether a suitcase of clothing found in Toronto on Monday has any connection to the case. The suitcase was found just two blocks from where some of Liu's remains were found.

On the weekend, Toronto police were alerted to the discovery of body parts on back-to-back days in the West Highland Creek, just blocks away from Liu's home.

Forensic tests have determined all of the body parts belonged to Liu, but police still do not know how she died. They estimate the body parts had been in the water between five to seven days.

【新聞快訊】

加拿大警方21日宣布，15日在安大略省被發(fā)現(xiàn)的碎尸案受害人為華人劉光華（音譯）。劉光華為單身母親，有3個孩子，離異，經(jīng)營一家水療店。今年5月，中國留學(xué)生林俊在加拿大被殘忍分尸，兇手馬尼奧塔將視頻放到網(wǎng)上，引發(fā)全球震驚。加拿大警方21日強(qiáng)調(diào)，華人母親劉光華遇害案和林俊案沒有關(guān)系，“僅僅是一起個案”。

8月15日至18日，加拿大安大略省米西索加市和多倫多市相繼發(fā)現(xiàn)疑似被肢解的女性軀體，引發(fā)恐懼。21日，加拿大警方證實受害者為華人。據(jù)加拿大廣播公司報道，死者劉光華41歲，住在多倫多東郊斯卡博隆郊區(qū)，經(jīng)營一家SPA水療店。在加拿大出版的華文報紙《星島日報》22日稱，該水療店已倒閉。

劉光華是一名單親媽媽，有3名子女，其中一名成年子女單獨居住，兩名未成年子女和劉光華的前夫共同生活。據(jù)劉光華生前交往的男友肯恩透露，他最后一次見到劉光華是8月10日，當(dāng)天他開車送受害人去工作地點。11日，肯恩報警稱劉光華失蹤。督查此案的加拿大警官稱，法醫(yī)已證明所有軀體都屬于劉光華，但目前警方尚不能確認(rèn)死因，但“初步判定為分尸殺人案”。

《蒙特利爾公報》報道稱，劉光華經(jīng)營的水療店沒有下屬員工，因此不可能有員工實施謀殺。報道引述水療店所在地管理人員的話稱，劉光華英語能力不佳，聽說都不熟練，很安靜，看起來很注意保養(yǎng)身材，其業(yè)務(wù)“在我看來沒有什么不合法的”。

目前，加拿大警方尚無關(guān)于兇手的具體信息。今年5月末，加拿大蒙特利爾市發(fā)生兇殺案，加拿大色情演員馬尼奧塔將中國留學(xué)生林俊殺害后分尸，并將部分尸塊寄給在加拿大首都渥太華的兩大政黨總部。6月4日，德國警方在柏林一家網(wǎng)吧將馬尼奧塔抓獲。

加拿大警方否認(rèn)這是針對華人的連環(huán)殺人案，加媒體對此事都謹(jǐn)慎置評?！抖鄠惗嗵枅蟆贩Q，劉光華經(jīng)營的水療店附近鄰居們對自己的安全表示擔(dān)心。此外，首先發(fā)現(xiàn)劉光華尸體的休威克草地公園也成為“不祥之地”，該公園2004年曾發(fā)生9歲華裔女童遭殘殺案。
