I'm lost for words.
Accused webcam killer had it all
Accused webcam killer had it all
TORONTO - Brian Dickson looks nothing like the sort of man usually hauled into court on a charge of first-degree murder.
He is 29, a former York University global politics student dressed well in a white, button-down shirt and jeans, and has the confident, chiselled good looks of the amateur actor, model and overachiever that he is.
Or rather, was - until his arrest for the webcam murder of Qian Liu, the pretty Chinese exchange student who was studying at his alma mater and living in the same multi-unit townhouse.
"He's had a whole whack of women, he was a devil, love 'em and leave 'em type. He was a total horn dog who got everything he wanted," says an acquaintance who didn't want to be named.
"Maybe he was rebuffed and he wasn't used to it." The courtroom is filled with a crush of journalists intrigued by a story that has garnered international attention.
A glimpse of the unlikely accused is all we get - as in all of these first appearances, it is practically over before it's even begun...
