TROIS-RIVIERES - Two of four police officers who allegedly beat a robbery suspect last February in Trois Rvieres, have been fired.

Council fired Marc-Andre Saint-Amant and Keven Deslauriers on Tuesday night.

The other officers, Barbara Provencher and Dominic Pronovost, remain suspended without pay until a disciplinary investigation is completed.

All four were charged after a video surfaced showing four officers punching and kicking a man in a parking lot after he dropped a weapon and lay face down on the ground.

The officers are charged with assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm, negligent use of a firearm, fabricating police reports and obstruction of justice.

The suspect, Alexis Vadeboncoeur, is accused of armed robbery at a pharmacy.
