Murder

On January 21, 1985, Eaton was stabbed twenty-one times and then raped in her apartment in Toronto. An acquaintance of Eaton's, Andrew Leyshon-Hughes, who was himself a member of the Osler family, admitted to murdering her, but was found not guilty by reason of insanity. He was remanded to the custody of a psychiatric hospital, where he will remain until his release. [1]

In popular culture

In 2003, the television film The Death and Life of Nancy Eaton, was released. The film was based on the book A Question of Guilt, by William Scoular. [2]
