Amber Alert suspect now faces charge of first-degree murder
SAINT-JEROME, Que. – The man at the heart of an Amber Alert in Quebec this summer has had a murder charge upgraded and another one added.
The man was charged north of Montreal on Monday with second-degree murder in the death of Yvon Lacasse, a 71-year-old man whose body was found last September.
He also had the charge in the death of his former partner upgraded to first-degree murder from second-degree murder.
The accused’s missing six-year-old son was found alive by police in Lacasse’s car.
Quebec police issued an Amber Alert for the boy after they discovered the body of his mother in mid-September north of Montreal.
