In the early morning hours of April 15, 2011, an intruder would enter the tiny apartment of Qian Liu, a student at York University.
A struggle would ensue, before the man shut off her laptop.
But there was an unusual eye witness to the attack. Lui’s ex-boyfriend who she was chatting with online, and who lived in Beijing China.
He would give police a full description of the man who attacked Qian Liu, and 24 hours later an odd man named Brian Dickson would be arrested for her murder.
