The Crown declared its case closed, and the defence will begin presenting its case next in the Quebec trial of a man charged with using a sword to kill two people and injure five others on Halloween in 2020
The Crown has wrapped its case in the trial of a 26-year-old man charged with using a sword to murder two people and injure five others on Halloween night 2020 in Quebec City’s historic district.
Jurors heard from a final prosecution witness on Thursday – a forensic pathologist who described in graphic detail the wounds she found on the bodies of Duchesne and Clermont. The Crown declared its case closed after her testimony, and the defence will begin presenting its case next Tuesday. Crown prosecutors allege Girouard left home about 30 kilometres north of Montreal in his car, taking a Japanese-style sword called a katana that had a 76.9-centimetre blade. They claim he wore black jogging pants, black leather boots, a short-sleeved kimono and a black mask.
