MONTREAL — The 19-year-old arrested Friday after three people were found stabbed to death in Montreal's Rosemont neighbourhood is facing three counts of second-degree murder.
Arthur Galarneau appeared Saturday before the Court of Quebec.
Montreal police say there is a family connection between the accused and the victims identified as 53-year-old Mylène Gingras, 75-year-old Francine Gingras-Boucher and 53-year-old Richard Galarneau.
Authorities also say the accused had no criminal record.
