The Canadian Press: It was a criminal hand that caused the deaths of seven people in the historic building on Place d’Youville in Old Montreal that was destroyed in the flames on March 16. In a brief press conference on Monday, Montreal Police Service Inspector David Shane confirmed that “the cause of the accident has now been ruled out.”
We are therefore now talking about a criminal investigation.” In other words, if a suspect were arrested for setting fire to the building that illegally housed Airbnb-like accommodations, they could face multiple charges, up to seven counts of murder.
Inspector Shane specified that investigators “also identified an area where the fire started and I can confirm that traces of accelerant were found, which may have helped explain the fire’s rate of spread in conjunction with its origin. “Structure of the Building”.
However, the police officer refused to provide further details, both on the type of accelerant, where it was found and on the existence or non-existence of a suspect. He added that the coroner’s investigation into the case is on hold pending the completion of the criminal investigation, as is the potential trial if anyone is brought to justice for this crime.
The possibility of criminal negligence charges against the building’s owner, Émile Benamor, has not been ruled out.
I Alexandre BergevinThe lawyer representing Émile-Haim Benamor, the owner of the burnt building and owner of other accommodations in the city, believes his client was blamed in the media for the blaze.
Today we learn that the cause is different: It is an arson committed by someone who has no connection to my client, he emphasizes I Bergevin.
“The spectrum is wide. The random area is set aside; In the crime field, there are all sorts of crimes that could have been committed and it’s all open at the moment,” replies Inspector Shane.
On this subject, the daily newspaper La Presse found out in April that it had been the subject of multiple violations against the company over the years due to the inaccessibility of certain emergency stairs, the lack of fire doors and smoke detectors.
However, Mr Benamor denied this. Additionally, Randy Sears, who lost his son Nathan in the fire, is the catalyst for a class action lawsuit in the Supreme Court seeking $22 million in damages.
His request is directed against both Emile Benamor and the landlord of accommodation for Airbnb, Tarik Hassan, and against the Airbnb company itself, the latter two in particular for renting apartments in violation of provincial and municipal laws and regulations be targeted.
Nathan Sears, 35, was a Toronto PhD in Political Science who was in Montreal to attend an international conference.
The other six victims are Charlie Lacroix, 18, Walid Belkahla, also 18, An Wu, Dania Zafar and Saniya Khan, all three aged 31, and Camille Maheux, 76. A total of 22 people were in the building when the fire erupted, in which nine people were injured.
