The Sûreté du Québec (SQ) and the Richelieu Saint-Laurent Intermunicipal Police Board are investigating a murder in McMasterville.
Posted at 4:35 p.m.
The Régie police intervened Friday morning around 8:15 a.m. after an acquaintance of the victim found him unconscious in a residence. The man in his twenties was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
“According to the first findings, it seems that he was the victim of a criminal act,” said agent Stéphane Tremblay of the SQ. The file was transferred to the investigation service on crimes against the person of the provincial police force, which collaborates with the local board.
An analysis of the scene was still in progress late Friday afternoon, and a mobile SQ command post was erected on site for the purposes of the investigation, said Agent Tremblay.
