The Quebec City Halloween stabbing suspect was described by a series of witnesses as calm, co-operative and attentive as he was placed under arrest

Police and first responders who engaged with the suspect in Quebec City’s Halloween 2020 stabbing murders found nothing out of the ordinary in his behaviour, a jury trial heard Wednesday.

The judge has told jurors that Girouard admits to the physical acts but will argue he was not criminally responsible at the time of the events because he was suffering from a mental disorder. Boulet said Girouard did not have identification and refused to give his name; instead, he told her to check his 2006 black Saturn vehicle parked near the Chateau Frontenac hotel.

The jury also heard Wednesday from Pierre-Luc Laflamme, a paramedic who tended to Girouard after his arrest, who also described the suspect’s demeanour as calm following the sword attacks.
