Windsor police sent an email to the Star Wednesday night stating they were finally granting the information request, before posting the information on social media. Windsor detectives comb the scene for clues to the murder of Ljubica Topic in this May 14, 1971 file photo.Windsor police announced in December 2019 they had solved the cold case with the help of DNA testing, but they would not reveal the suspect’s name. Their argument for refusing to identify the killer was that it violated his right to privacy, because he had recently died and could not be officially charged with the crime.
The Windsor Star lodged a Freedom of Information request. Windsor police denied it. The Star appealed and police again denied it. This sparked a lengthy appeal and mediation process, which eventually led to an adjudicator being assigned to make a decision. Paula Topic holds a portrait of her daughter Ljubica Topic, who was murdered in 1971, at her home in Windsor on Friday, April 17, 2015. Police have released the fact that a tooth was found at the scene of the murder in hopes someone will come forward with new information in the 44 year old case.Police said they were releasing the information under Section 16 of the Information and Privacy Act.
