Man arrested after woman’s body found in burned-out bar in Quebec

MONTREAL – Police have arrested a man in connection with the death of a 22-year-old woman whose body was found in a burned-out bar in Quebec’s Lanaudiere region.

The suspect was arrested early Monday at a residence in Saint-Gabriel-de-Brandon, some 110 kilometres northeast of Montreal.

He is being questioned by police and investigators say he is likely to face murder charges.

Chloe Bellehumeur-Lemay’s lifeless body was found Sunday afternoon following a fire at the bar where she worked.

Police orginally believed she died in the fire but later found signs of violence on her body.

Authorities now believe the fire was deliberately set to cover Bellehumeur-Lemay’s murder.
