Quebec police had met murder suspect: watchdog
The parents of a man accused of violently killing a 65-year-old man on a Quebec City street reached out to police in the days prior to the murder to alert them of their son’s mental health problems, a lawyer said Friday.
The Bureau des enquêtes indépendantes said in a news release that one of the suspect’s parents called Quebec City police two days before Wednesday’s incident to express concern about him. However, Lebel allegedly began attacking people on the street before the court order could be carried out, resulting in Côté’s death.
