Toronto police say they have arrested two women and a man for the murder of Daniel Hoffman – on a high-rise near York and Harbor Sts. – were made with the help of cops in the Niagara area. Sylvain Bernier last saw Hoffman on Tuesday at 9:30 p.m. when he left his friend’s wallet, which he had forgotten after hanging out last Saturday. “We did not talk much. “We were both a bit hurried,” he said of the brief meeting when Hoffman went downstairs to get his wallet. Police were called to the apartment building shortly after 5 a.m. Wednesday. “It’s terrible. I’m so upset and at first I refused,” said Bernier, who heard about the killing on Thursday morning. “It’s very shocking.” “We became good friends because my ex-girlfriend knew him very well,” Bernier said of Hoffman, who had worked in finance for about a year and a half. “We all hung out together and got close.”
