Partner of woman found dead near Montreal charged with first-degree murder
SAINT-HYACINTHE, Que. – The partner of a pregnant woman found dead in her home near Montreal was formally charged Friday with first-degree murder.
Alexandre Gendron, 35, was arraigned in St-Hyacinthe, about 60 kilometres east of Montreal, one day after Cheryl Bau-Tremblay’s body was found in her home in Beloeil.
Bau-Tremblay, who was five months pregnant, had been reported missing since Saturday and was last seen that day leaving her home.
Crown prosecutor Nancy Potvin said Friday police spoke to many witnesses and that Gendron was questioned for several hours on Thursday.
Police have not revealed how Bau-Tremblay died or where her body was found inside the house.
An autopsy should reveal which day she died.
Gendron is scheduled to return to court Sept. 15.
