MAN, 30, CHARGED WITH MURDER OF TWO BOYS ON FIRST NATION
A man has been charged with two counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of two young children in Wendake, Que. Provincial police spokesman Louis-Philippe Bibeau said the 30-year-old man appeared in court by video-conference late Sunday after being interrogated. Police were called to Wendake, a Huron-Wendat First Nation near Quebec City, around 2 a.m. Sunday after two bodies were found in a home. Police said the boys were aged two and five, and the suspect turned himself in to Quebec City police. The man appeared in court Monday, according to a spokeswoman for the Quebec prosecutor’s office. He has not yet entered a plea to the charges against him and his file has been postponed until Nov. 11. Huron-Wendat Grand Chief Konrad Sioui said Sunday that the boys’ deaths have shaken the community. Quebec Premier Francois Legault also offered his condolences, saying the entire province was devastated.
