Wicked Web: The Murders of the Ottey Sisters and Dimitrija “Jimmy” Trajceski

WILDCIDE

On a warm August evening in 1995, the lives of two promising young women, Marsha and Tamara “Tami” Ottey, were tragically cut short in their Scarborough, Ontario home. The brutal murders of the 19-year-old Marsha and 16-year-old Tamara sent shockwaves through the community, shattering their family, and leaving a legacy of grief. Just two months later, another high-profile murder took place in Toronto that thrust the community into panic: 54- year-old Dimitrija “Jimmy” Trajceski, a 27-year transit veteran, was brutally murdered at a deserted subway station booth. These cases highlights the importance of collaboration between law enforcement agencies in solving complex crimes. Hang out with us as we delve into the details of this heartbreaking case, exploring the lives of the victims, the investigation that brought the perpetrators to justice, and the lasting impact it left.
