Canadian pharmaceutical billionaires Barry and Honey Sherman were murdered in a targeted killing, Toronto police said on Friday. But police said no one has been charged in their deaths.

Police said they were treating the case as a murder investigation six weeks after the Shermans were found dead. Their bodies were found next to the swimming pool in their home, a family friend told Reuters.

Toronto police homicide detective Susan Gomes said Friday she was “not going to discuss suspects” but believed the Shermans were targeted.

In a statement, the Sherman family said the double murder designation “was anticipated”.
