Sources have told Global News that Aylward was targeted in a home invasion-style robbery Friday.
It’s believed he was kidnapped and his wife was tied up. She managed to escape and friends say she’s under police protection.
His body was found the next day on a rural road. Police won’t say if they have any suspects in connection with Aylward’s murder nor will they confirm reports they may have seized a vehicle connected to the crime.
