Residents of the quiet area of Mont-Saint-Hilaire, where was found the body of a man a victim of murder on Saturday morning are still struggling to explain what could have happened.

“It is a fairly remote corner. There are many possibilities for what could happen. It is a mystery to all the world, nothing suspicious or out of the ordinary has occurred in the last days, ” says Charlotte Domingo, who lives not far from the intersection of the paths Rouillard and Authier.

Several other neighbors have expressed their surprise at the Newspaper, wondering what had happened on the trails that would be fairly busy, even at night.

Marks of violence

An autopsy will be made soon, which could “help advance the investigation” and determine the exact identity of the victim, said the sergente Audrey-Anne Bilodeau, a spokesperson for the Sûreté du Québec.

Marks of violence were found on the body of the victim, but it was impossible for the SQ to clarify the nature. We could not say how long the remains were in the woods.

Using the public

Investigators scoured the scene all day Saturday, until the darkness prevents them from continuing their work. The investigation continued Sunday, but no policeman was on the ground. No suspect has been arrested for the moment.

He is a man of the area who travelled by ATV who made the grisly discovery Saturday morning, around 7: 30. He warned the police officers of the Régie intermunicipale de police Richelieu–Saint-Laurent. These have transferred the investigation to the SQ.

Police are seeking assistance from the public in this case. Anyone who has information can contact the Central criminal information at 1 800 659-4264.
