A 73-year-old man suspected of gunning down five people at a condominium north of Toronto had a lengthy history of threatening members of the building's board and believed they had a conspiracy to"systematically murder" him, court documents and online posts indicate.
Court documents involving a man with the same name, who lived at the building where the shooting took place, indicate a long dispute with the condo board.He was set to return to court Monday as the board sought to have a judge find him in contempt for violating a previous order to not contact the board, to stop threatening its members and building staff and to cease posting about them on social media.
There were about two dozen posts to the page since the start of December, many featuring videos of the same man talking about his battle with the condo board. In another video, posted Friday, he said he lives in"Hitler’s dungeon" and claimed"energy from hydroelectricity" was killing him. Court documents have said his unit was above an electrical room.
John Santoro, a resident of the building who said he knew the man, said Villi was a retired building developer who had been in a"long-brewing" dispute with the condo board. The board also wanted Villi to stop video and audio recording the board members and staff and stop posting those videos to his Facebook and Twitter accounts.In 2019, Justice Paul Perell ordered Villi to not make video or audio recordings of the board's members, management, residents or employees. The judge also ordered Villi to remove social media posts and not make new posts about the court matter and to only communicate with the board by email or letter.
Villi posted on Facebook on April 20 saying"if I Francesco Villi die these people are totally and solely responsible for my death."
