[EN IMAGES] Stabbing: a first murder in Quebec this year

The police are currently conducting an investigation for the first murder to occur in Quebec in 2022 following the death of an elderly man in his sixties, on rue Thibodeau, in Lac-Saint-Charles.

A seriously injured man showing signs of violence was first discovered on the ground around 4 p.m., between Hamann and Bouchard streets.

Immediately, motorists saw several patrol vehicles speed past on the Laurentian North highway.

On the spot, they found that the victim had been assaulted with a bladed weapon.

The suspect was quickly located in the following minutes, near the scene of the tragedy. He was immediately arrested by the police. The connection between the two people has not yet been clarified.

The injured individual was found outside. Quickly, the police mentioned that his life was in danger.

The police also confirm damage to cars, which must also be analyzed.

“We will no longer be able to say that it is a quiet corner”, launched a citizen of rue Thibodeau.

The death of the victim was confirmed in the early evening. This is probably the first murder to occur on the territory of the City of Quebec in 2022. The thesis of the settlement of accounts would be unlikely.

After verification, the deceased man was never sent to the hospital.

A total of three people were taken to hospital. The suspect, for behavioral problems, as well as two people in shock received treatment.

The Quebec City Police Service (SPVQ) received several calls from citizens through 9-1-1 to report this attack. So there would be witnesses who saw or heard part of the events. The investigators will first have to meet many neighbors.

At least one vehicle, possibly two, is inside the wide perimeter. Travel is still very limited in the neighborhood.

The SPVQ mobile command post is on the scene. Forensic identification technicians are also on site.
