Two men in their 20s found dead in double slaying near Montreal

BROSSARD, Que. – Police near Montreal searched a sprawling green space Tuesday after the discovery of two people they believe were shot to death.

A passerby called 911 after seeing the bodies of two men shortly before 11 p.m. Monday in a rural part of Brossard, on Montreal’s south shore.

The victims, 21 and 23, were pronounced dead in hospital.

“Both bodies seemed to present wounds that are consistent with gun wounds,” said Longueuil police Const. Jean-Pierre Voutsinos.

The bodies were found near a vehicle that belonged to one of the victims.

Police said late Tuesday neither man had a criminal record and the investigation was ongoing.

They have not made any arrests.

A team of 15 officers searched for clues in the wooded area, which includes hiking trails.

“It’s a municipal park, in a wooded area and there are very, very few houses around,” he said.
