Stéphane Prévost, Murdered

“He died in the place where he would fish all day. He even slept there under the stars, time and again, ” says his sister, Julie Prévost, more than three years after the assassination.

Memorial

It was natural for friends and family to install a memorial at the spot where his body had been found. They come there on a daily basis to maintain and collect. There are crosses, stones, rosaries and flowers.

Since 2014, they are praying for a suspect was finally arrested for the murder of the father of three children. Even today, it has not made any arrests in this case.

Rampage

Last week, however, everything has been ransacked, which has shocked the relatives of Stephane Prevost.

“Everything was broken. The flowers were uprooted, the cross also. I was not really in a good mood that everything is broken. It is a big lack of respect “, said Caroline Chartier, who knew the victim for twenty years.

The sister of the deceased is also disappointed, but retroussait already short this afternoon to put the memorial in order and bring new flowers. She went there almost every day and maintains meticulously the place, going up to pluck the grass that grows around it.

“It’s about someone bad, someone who cares,” sighed she.

Ms. Prevost has lost hope to see the murderer arrested.

“Unless someone in Lachine decides to talk ! There is someone, somewhere, who knows something, ” she said.

History

His brother had some criminal history, but had delivered the order in his life and was sober for four years.

The relatives of Mr. Prevost have an appointment on the 21st of August to redo a memorial even more beautiful than the first, in the same place.

The report of the investigation of the coroner concludes that the death was violent, but does not expose the details, which could be filed as evidence in a murder trial.
