Sexual orientation could have caused fatal beating and brutal trampling

A friend of the man who was brutally beaten and murdered on Sunday at dawn yesterday harshly criticized the Toronto police, accusing her of blind eye to crimes motivated by homophobia.
A young gay man was savagely beaten by at least two attackers, who left him lying in the street and then get into a SUV and deliberately run him over. The friend of the victim said that the motive was homophobia, which the police have classified as speculative.

The friend of a young gay man beaten and then killed after being hit by a jeep say they are extremely angry and upset because police had refused to consider the possibility that Chris Skinner was attacked simply because of their sexual orientation.

“It is incomprehensible that something like this has happened as it happened,” said Robert Moorhouse, Tuesday, adding that homicide detectives from the Toronto Police Service have said that to say that Skinner’s sexual orientation was the reason for their death is pure speculation.

Police have not disclosed much about the crime, occurred last Sunday at 3 am near the intersection of Victoria and Adalaide in the center of town. Skinner had come to celebrate the birthday of her sister, Taryn, and had just said goodbye to his friends when he was killed.

The young man was involved in a violent confrontation with at least two people on board of a jeep, who first beat him savagely leaving him lying on the ground and then hit him deliberately. Sikinner died in hospital. The road was last seen fleeing east on Adelaide.

Moorhouse said that Skinner was a handsome man with a homosexual rather exuberant style.

“He had no history of violence. I knew him for 6 or 7 years and never saw him looking for lawsuits, “he said.

When people yelled homophobic insults “Skinner normally be slipping,” said his friend, adding that “usually when such things happened there were other people around. There is safety in the masses. ”

If there was any verbal confrontation or offenses against him, Chris would have responded the same way, “said Moorhouse.

“What has left me several sleepless nights trying to visualize what is was what happened at the end,” he said. The fights occur occasionally, but “the fact is they left him lying in the street and then run over,” he continued. “Climbing to reach an all-terrain and deliberately running over someone, to end his life, that has no justification.”

The police is said to be studying a video taken by a surveillance camera installed on the west side of the Entertainment District and the other by a camera on the east by Church Street, in order to see if it can identify the suspects or vehicle.

Detective Stacey Gallant appealed to the conscience of the driver and passenger to surrender to authorities. “If you are not the driver should immediately call me and tell me that’s not the driver” said the detective. “This happened, but it was not his intention. Go to us and we will discuss the matter and determine what their situation. ”

Moorhouse believes that the police should make homophobia a lot more seriously.

“A gay man died at 3 am in the middle, and the nature of death suggests that it was much more than an altercation at a bar,” he said.

“Maybe they know more than they have been announced and are trying to reduce speculation, or simply a voluntary basis, closing his eyes to the fact that gays and lesbians suffer violence in the streets of downtown, on a regular .

Moorhouse said he had been assaulted by his homosexuality by a group of children in the intersection of Yonge and College in 1997.

“Also, I found myself alone and if I had not had the clarity of mind to get me to a Mr. Sub maybe the outcome would have been the same as that of Skinner said.

Skinner had just offered his entrance exam for law school, in hopes of becoming a law degree like his dad, to practice in the town of Uxbridge. He planned to marry next year. Sadly, instead of the wedding his family had to perform a funeral, after Skinner became the 43rd victim of this murder in Toronto in 2009. The funeral will be held Thursday at 1 pm at the Presbyterian Church of St. Paul, streets and Leaskdale Church, about 10 km north of Uxbridge.
