Posted at 3:25 p.m.
“The safety of the applicants appears to me to be more than at risk and this is sufficient to conclude my decision,” judge Pierre Labelle ruled on Thursday, citing the dangerousness of the defendant. Due to the DPJ's involvement in this case, we cannot identify the names of the defendants or the victims.
The alleged acts occurred between September 2023 and January 3rd.
Last Wednesday, one of the defendant's daughters called the police to report acts of violence committed the previous day. His father is said to have beaten him because he refused to undergo a forced marriage to his cousin in Turkey.
“This is a marriage that appears to have been orchestrated by the defendant,” Judge Labelle reiterated in his decision.
Domestic violence and threats
The defendant is said to have beaten his wife with a belt several times since last fall. She had announced that she was getting a divorce, according to the statement of facts.
After the emergency call, the father is said to have violently threatened the women in the family: “I will come back and kill you with a knife.” “I will cut your bodies into small pieces,” he allegedly said.
He also allegedly told his daughter that he would kill her and rape her corpse and that “her death would make headlines.” »
“The evidence reveals a desire for violence against the female members of his family,” the judge concluded.
After the first call, mother and daughter returned to the police station accompanied by the family's son. They then attempted to withdraw their complaint. The father was arrested anyway. The man in his 50s, who will remain behind bars until the end of the trial, has no criminal record.
During his detention he is prohibited from communicating with the complainants.
The case will be heard in court again on February 20.
