The suspect, Daniel Lafond, 34, was arrested on December 10 in connection with an assault and forcible confinement four days earlier, on December 6.

Investigators from the Quebec City Police Department (SPVQ) had the same suspect in their sights from the start of the investigation into the murders of Stéphane Deschênes and Mario Anctil.

He is expected to appear later today.
