The decision comes after the family of the murdered couple requested permission from the city to level the house, which was where the billionaires’ bodies were found in December 2017. Eric Kirshenblatt of RKS Building Group Ltd., the agent hired by the family to do the demolition, said he was “praying” the request would get approval as it was a “very emotional” decision for the family to make. “But I think they’re relieved because again, out of all of the good memories they’ve had, this is the one that’s lasting,” he told reporters at North York Community Council Tuesday. “We’d like to put it to bed.”The house, which was previously listed for sale, was not going to sell as is, Kirshenblatt added. The family wants to demolish it, clean up the site, fill in the outdoor pool and put the lot up for sale.
