The victims of a bizarre triple murder that involved a crossbow in Scarborough Village are believed to be the relatives of the man accused in the killing.
The suspect’s mother Susan Ryan, and brothers Alexander Ryan and Christopher Ryan were all killed in an attack at a residence near Lawndale and Argo roads on Aug. 25. Another man – believed to be another brother of the suspect — was also injured, but survived the incident.
A publication ban had been in effect to prevent the victims from being identified. However a judge lifted the ban Tuesday.

Police said that a crossbow was retrieved from the scene.
A 35 year-old man was arrested at the scene on Aug. 25. He was taken to hospital where he was treated before being released back into police custody.
