Case put over for man charged with murder in stabbing of Montreal store clerk

MONTREAL – The case of a man charged with first-degree murder in the stabbing death of a Montreal grocery store clerk has been put over until June.

Randy Tshilumba appeared in a Montreal courtroom on Wednesday in connection with the April 10 slaying of Clemence Beaulieu-Patry, 20.

Beaulieu-Patry was stabbed while working in the store’s clothing department as clients shopped and other employees worked.

Police have said Tshilumba, 19, and Beaulieu-Patry were students at the same secondary school, although investigators didn’t believe there was a relationship beyond that.

The accused will remain detained pending his next court appearance on June 9.
