Toronto (Canada):
Prostitutes working in the Parkdale area where a female torso was discovered on the weekend are "on edge" as they start considering whether the yet unidentified woman was one of them.
Homicide investigator Detective Sergeant Gary Giroux said he hasn't yet determined whether or not the woman was a prostitute.
But it is likely she was known in the south Parkdale area.

Her legs were found by city workers in a garbage transfer station in North York on Friday. Her torso was discovered on Saturday by a resident in an alley behind his home on Elm Grove Avenue.
Police were putting up posters yesterday afternoon in the area around Queen Street West and Lansdowne Avenue, featuring a picture of a gold-coloured anklet with butterflies and rhinestones that was still on the woman's dismembered left leg when it was found.The woman was white and had light brown hair.
She was between 5 foot 6 and 5 foot 9, and weighed between 150 and 170 pounds. She had no visible tattoos and an abdominal scar from a hysterectomy.
Tests are being conducted at the Centre of Forensic Sciences to attempt to determine how and when the woman died, whether she was sexually assaulted and whether she had ever given birth.
