Hamilton Police have arrested two brothers after the beating death of a man last week. CHCH news obtained security video showing the tactical response unit converging on an east end neighbourhood, where one of the men was arrested last night.

It was quite a shocking scene for residents on Roxborough Avenue in Hamilton last night. Heavily armed police secured a perimeter around a home before going inside.

Kayla Froman was in the house at the time. “They told me to come out of my house with my hands up. They had guns and tasers pointed at me…then they told me that my boyfriend had committed second degree murder…and I don’t think he did.”

About 45 minutes earlier, 33 year old Gordon O’Hara had taken Kayla Froman’s young children to the park down the street.

When police realized that Gordon O’Hara was not inside the house when they arrived they made their way down to Crown Point East Park where Gordon had brought Kayla’s two young children. Just before 8 o’clock Gordon O’hara was arrested.

His brother 27 year old Joshua O’Hara was arrested at his home on Hamilton Mountain Wednesday night.

The arrests come one week after the death of 40 year old William McConville who went by the name Shawn. He was beaten in broad daylight outside his apartment building at Stinson Street and Victoria Avenue South last Wednesday, and died in hospital on Friday. Hamilton police allege the attack was part of a street robbery gone wrong.

Both Gordon and Joshua O’Hara appeared in court this morning and were ordered to have no contact with relatives of the victim, before being remanded into custody.
