Grisly Bit Of Canadian History
It was two pimps that were the last to be executed in Canada. Arthur Lucas murdered Therland "checkerboard" Crater, and a twenty-one year old prostitute by the name of Carolyn Newman. Newman was under the control of Crater. The crime took place in a Kendall Avenue house where the two victims had lived on November 17th 1961.
Lucas was hanged along with Ron Turpin a Toronto area a pimp, thug, and cop-killer on December 11th 1962. They were the last to be hanged in this country.
Canada no longer has a death penalty.
