London, Ont. police release photos of car, suspects in 2021 Lynda Marques killing

New photos are now available to the public as police in London, Ont., continue to investigate the murder of Lynda Marques.

The 30-year-old was fatally shot as she arrived at her north London home on Wateroak Drive on the evening of Sept. 10, 2021, according to police.

Investigators believe the suspects later fled the scene in a black Volkswagen Jetta. On Sept. 15, 2021, the suspect vehicle was found abandoned on Meadowlily Road South near Commissioners Road East.

Police later determined the Jetta had been stolen from Bluffers Park and Beach in Scarborough on Sept. 5, 2021, according to police.

Police say the vehicle has undergone “extensive forensic examination, and analysis of evidence gathered is ongoing.”

In new information released on Tuesday, police said investigators believed those involved in the murder of Marques are from the Greater Toronto Area and had travelled to London from the GTA on Sept. 9, 2021, before leaving immediately after her death.

“This investigation has been very active and non-stop since Sept. 10, 2021 when Lynda was murdered,” said Det. Insp. Alex Krygsman, head of the investigations branch for London police, in an interview with Global News.

“During that time investigators have been very busy exploring a number of investigative avenues, including the avenue which is related to the two photos that have been distributed.”

Police are appealing to the public for information on the identities of the two people seen in the photo they provided, the activities of the two people in the photo between Sept. 9 and Sept. 10, 2021, and the movements of the Volkswagen Jetta on Sept. 9, and Sept. 10, 2021.

“You see two people in the photo, we believe that there are others involved,” said  Krygsman. “We’re looking for some assistance from the public as we continue to move this (investigation) forward.”
