A homicide occurred in Mont-Joli, in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region, on Saturday. The victim is a man in his forties.
“Suspects were intercepted by patrol officers in the Rimouski sector. They will be met shortly by investigators,” said Camille Savoie, spokesperson for the Sûreté du Québec (SQ).
SQ officers were called around 11:45 a.m. “in connection with a possible altercation in a residence on rue Aubin in Mont-Joli,” said Mme Savoy.
When they arrived at the scene, they found a man in his forties seriously injured. He was then taken to a hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
Forensic identification technicians and investigators from the SQ’s crimes against persons team are still on site to analyze the scene and clarify the circumstances of this homicide.
