'Spiritual adviser' slain in Parkdale roominghouse

TORONTO - A former prostitute recently working as a "spiritual adviser" lay dead in her rented Parkdale room for more than a day before worried relatives discovered her body. Toronto Police homicide investigators on Tuesday identified Rita Adams as the victim in a Maynard Ave. roominghouse. Residents on the street in the King St.-Jameson Ave. area said she occupied a room vacated by Ricardo Morrison, when he was charged 16 months ago with second-degree murder and five counts of assault after a series of attacks on mentally disabled adults. Relatives of Adams, 59, went to her room just before 1 p.m. Monday because "they hadn't heard from her for a couple of days," Det.-Sgt. Hank Idsinga said. Her death was declared a homicide after an autopsy a day later disclosed "multiple stab wounds" to her head and torso, Idsinga said.
