Notes on a murder trial

The murder of Cédric Gagnon was reported in 2018 in the Journal and in La Presse at the time; CBC ran a piece on friends’ reactions to the alleged homicide and dismembering of one band member of another in the Mile End. It reads like the plot to a lurid miniseries (and also reminds us that it wasn’t all that long ago that underemployed musicians could live in the area, albeit in a school bus, as the CBC reports; I once looked down on that bus from the Van Horne overpass and idly wondered who was living in it).

Now Raymond Henri Muller is on trial and the luridness continues, with the arrest of Muller in 2018 after a failed suicide attempt and written confession found in the flat. Where’s Allô Police when you need it?
