Murders in 2017: the numbers

Daniel Renaud at La Presse breaks down the murders of the year. Renaud has 24 on his list, whereas the blog has seen 22 homicides as noted on Kevin’s map.

And while 24 killings is not a lot in a city this size, Renaud says police have solved only 60% of them so far, and none of the six homicides he attributes to organized crime has yet been solved.

La Presse also has a story about how New York authorities wouldn’t allow Montreal police to question a captive whom they suspect in a 2013 murder in Rivière-des-Prairies.
