Shoppers Drug Mart PATH stabbing victim identified as Rosemarie Junor

Police announced on Thursday that Rohinie Bisesar, 40, of Toronto, who was arrested in relation to a stabbing at 66 Wellington Street West at the Shoppers Drug Mart in the PATH system on December 11, now faces a second-degree murder charge.

The victim, who succumbed to her injuries on Wednesday night, was identified as Rosemarie Junor, 28, of Toronto.

Bisesar was arrested by police on Tuesday and charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and carrying a concealed weapon.

She appeared briefly in court on Wednesday. Her next court appearance is scheduled for Friday. Her lawyer told the media that he will seek bail for her.

The stabbing happened just after 3 p.m. on Friday. Junor was rushed to hospital and later put on life-support. She died Wednesday evening, police said.

At Bisesar’s brief court appearance Wednesday morning, her lawyer, Calvin Barry, told reporters “she seems really sad,” but he wouldn’t comment on other aspects of Bisesar’s life.

Bisesar had graduated from York University’s undergraduate and graduate business programs, and had several jobs in the financial district.

She will remain in custody, likely at a jail in the Milton, Ont., area, Barry said.
