People living in a Regina apartment block believe a suite in their building is where a Winnipeg man may have been beaten and tortured before he was dropped off anonymously at a hospital.
Regina police confirmed they visited the building on Tuesday, but would not say why.
Dustin LaFortune, 26, was near death when he was dropped off at a Regina hospital in April.
The landlord of the Regina building confirmed he rented suite 3 on March 15 to a man who used the name Dustin LaFortune.
Dann McKenzie lives below suite 3 and said he heard disturbing noises coming from the room above him almost daily.
McKenzie said he heard hitting sounds, banging and moaning. On March 31, he recorded the sounds.
"I called the landlord and told him I had this recording and (the landlord) said he spoke to the guy upstairs," said McKenzie.
The suite upstairs got quieter and noises stopped by mid April, said McKenzie.
Dustin LaFortune was dropped off at hospital on April 16.
The building's landlord said police searched suite 3.
McKenzie has been criticized by some people and accused of not acting quickly enough. On Thursday, he responded to the criticism.
"I didn't know what was going on upstairs at the time. Had I known that there (were) terrible things happening up there of course I would have called the police. In fact I would have kicked the door down myself or tried to remedy the situation as fast as possible," said McKenzie.
He also gave police his cellphone recording and on Wednesday night identified a man from the apartment building in a police line-up.
Officers in Regina continue to investigate and have not yet released information on suspects.
