A teenager is accused of killing two young people when she was just 15 years old: one was found in a field in Montérégie in April, another was murdered a few days later in a Toronto suburb.
The Sûreté du Québec believes it has managed to solve the murder of a 16-year-old teenager who was found lifeless in Saint-Zotique last spring. Investigators initially had difficulty identifying the victim, particularly due to his numerous injuries.
We then learned that last night, a surveillance camera reportedly captured an SUV driving quickly into and out of farmland, presumably to dispose of the young man's body.
A publication ban prevents us from identifying the young person.
The one, who lived in Prévost in the Laurentians, had been missing since the end of March. He was last seen alive in a Montreal subway station three weeks before his body was discovered.
Serious allegations
After a long investigation, the investigators finally handcuffed a suspect: it was a 16-year-old teenager. She was recently charged with first-degree murder in the Juvenile Division of the Salaberry-de-Valleyfield Courthouse.
The Mississauga, Ont., resident also faces accessory after the fact charges within 10 days of the murder in Ajax and other cities in the province.
An application could be made to sentence the defendant to an adult sentence.
Other folder
According to our information, the defendant is currently incarcerated in Ontario, where she is facing an additional murder charge.
The victim in this case, Zackhry Ramnath, would be a friend of the youth found in Saint-Zotique.
The young Montreal man's body was found along a trail about fifty kilometers north of Toronto on April 23, just six days after that of the first victim. A citizen made the macabre discovery while walking his dog.
The 16-year-old was arrested by York Regional Police in June. A 19-year-old young man was also charged in connection with this case.
The woman accused of two murders was only 15 years old at the time of the crime.
She will return to court in the coming weeks.
