Wednesday July 18th, 1973 was going to be a busy day in the Demeter household. There were meals to prepare for out of town guests along with some sightseeing and souvenir shopping in downtown Toronto. Peter and Christine Demeter lived in the exclusive Erindale neighbourhood of Mississauga Ont. To the outside world, they had it all – a beautiful three-year old daughter, a gorgeous home with a pool, luxury cars, a thriving business and even a beloved spaniel. But by the end of that sultry, summer evening Christine would be lying dead in a pool of blood in the garage.

And it doesn’t take long for former friends and associates to start flipping on their friend. Soon the police are confronted with more evidence against Peter and information that leads them to a bizarre Hungarian mafia underworld where Christine’s killer may be hiding.

He claims it was Christine who had actually hired a hitman to kill Peter but when her murder plot back-fired, she ended up dead.

Will Peter Demeter be found guilty of murdering his wife?
