(Terrebonne) Three people were arrested in connection with the death of a young child that occurred Monday evening in Bois-des-Filion, in Lanaudière.
Tuesday morning, these suspects were questioned by members of the criminal affairs office of the Intermunicipal Police Service of Terrebonne-Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines-Bois-des-Filion.
