A Toronto man has admitted shooting three members of his family and burning the bodies in October 2007.

Bao Mac, 49, pleaded guilty Tuesday in a court in Newmarket, Ont., to three counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of his daughter Lisa Mac, 4, his wife Zu Ling He, 47, and her daughter, Qian Jenny Zhao, 22.

Mac has been in custody since a warrant for his arrest was executed on Nov. 4, 2007, following a stay in hospital to treat severe burns to his upper body and face.

The bodies of the victims, all dead of gunshot wounds, were found in a burned-out van on Oct.14, 2007.

Police said a man suffering from severe burns had gone to a nearby house and asked for help.

When police and fire personnel arrived at the Seventh Concession and Sixteenth Sideroad area in King Township, they discovered a van engulfed in flames, with the bodies of the women and the child inside.

Mac is tentatively scheduled to appear for a sentencing hearing on Jan. 4, 2011.
