Provincial police investigating double homicide after two women found in Laurentians home

Provincial police are investigating a double homicide after two women were found in a home in the Laurentians.

The Sureté du Québec responded to a 911 call at around 9:15 p.m. in Sainte-Sophie on Monday, and found both of them with life-threatening injuries, and they were transported to hospital.

A 60-year-old woman has since died, and police report that a 28-year-old woman who was initially listed in critical condition has also died. Police say they are from the same family.

Provincial police say a car collision in nearby Saint-Jerôme took place at around the time they were called to the Laurentians home. Investigators believe a 33-year-old man who was seriously hurt in that collision is a person of interest.

He will be met by investigators as soon as his condition allows it.
