Christine Demeter

Christine Demeter

Christine Demeter (born 1940) was murdered on July 18, 1973, in the garage of her home in Mississauga, Ontario at the age of thirty-three. The case attracted much attention in Canada because Demeter, a model, was young and beautiful, and her murder had been mysterious.

Her husband, Peter Demeter, was subsequently convicted of hiring a killer to murder her to cash in on a million-dollar insurance policy. As of May 31 2010, Peter Demeter (now 77 years old) still remains in prison in Ontario (Canada).
