Disclosure of evidence is still not complete. “Some investigative steps remain to be done to this day, so for the moment the report remains under seal. It is a long investigation to do to determine all the elements that can be found at the crime scene, ”explains the prosecutor in the file, Me Karine Dalphond.
“There is part of the investigation that is continuing and expertise to be obtained which actually concerns the bus”, confines itself to saying Me Dalphond who cannot go into details.
The investigation into Pierre Ny St-Amand’s file is ongoing, regardless of the conclusion of the accused’s psychiatric report. “The investigation is continuing until the end so that we can be able to make a decision. The investigation is not stopped.
The accused, who is still interned at the Philippe-Pinel Institute of Forensic Psychiatry, will be back in court on August 22. “I am not in a position to tell you where we will be in the stages for August 22,” said Me Dalphond.
The psychiatric evaluation requested by the defense lawyer aims to determine his criminal responsibility at the time of the tragedy, on February 8.
