Hamilton police have identified human remains found near the city’s beach strip last month as belonging to a man who was abducted from a west Toronto parking lot in June 2018.

Forensic investigators have identified the remains as those of 26-year-old Jammar Allison of Toronto and have ruled his death a homicide.

In October 2019, a single bone was found by a passersby in Windemere Basin Park in Hamilton. Detectives sent the bone for forensic analysis, but were unable to determine the identity of the person at that time.
