Nancy Eaton

On January 21, 1985, Eaton was stabbed twenty-one times and then raped in her Farnham Street apartment [1] in Toronto.

An acquaintance of Eaton's, Ernest John Andrew Leyshon-Hughes,[2] also known as Andrew Leyshon-Hughes, who was himself a member of the prominent Canadian Osler family, admitted to murdering her, but was found not guilty by reason of insanity.

[3] In February 2001, Leyshon-Hughes was living at the Royal Ottawa Hospital and was a student at Algonquin College.

In 2003, the television movie The Death and Life of Nancy Eaton was released.

It airs on LMN in the United States and is based on the book A Question of Guilt by William Scoular.
