Investigators have charged a Toronto man with accessory to the murder of David Robson, who was found dead at an intersection north of Brampton more than two years ago.

The body of Robson, 65, was discovered on April 1, 2024, near the intersection of Chinguacousy Road and King Street in Caledon. He had been reported missing days earlier and was last seen over a week before he was found, and a post-mortem exam found he was the victim of a homicide.

His home was set on fire the same day he was reported missing, and his 2017 black Kia Sportage with Ontario licence plate DAMZ 252 was never recovered.
