Wow, sordid indeed. The Gazette gave a fairly detailed account of how the crime went down. Don’t get addicted to crack, people!

I somehow do not remember reading about this back in 2021, though I would think the details would have made it stick.
The original article also mentions a minor being involved. Kind of makes me wonder if it was a son of Manceau (Manceaux? The different articles seem to be inconsistent…), but of course the press can’t get specific about that. No mention of him in the CTV article, either, which makes me wonder what kind of a sentence he got.
It really highlights how long it can take from arrest (September 15, 2021) to sentencing (April, 2024), though…

I blogged the story at the time, although what was described then was quite different from how it was reported from the trial.
I also blogged a piece from January 2023 about the sentencing of the minor involved in the killing. Of course they’re not named.

Thanks, Kate. I guess I don’t always click through on the murder stories.
I did try searching this blog for “Lachine” yesterday, but that popped up more than a few hits. The first link from your reply came up, but I didn’t not get–or at least notice–the second one.
