STE. CROIX - A teenaged girl is one of the victims of a triple homicide and attempted murder that occurred Saturday night in separate homes in Quebec’s Chaudiere Appalaches region.
The Surete du Quebec confirmed Sunday that Medora Godin, 13, was killed as well as two adults in a nebulous string of events investigators are still trying to clarify.
The story began Saturday evening when the SQ was called to a residence in the municipality of St. Croix, 55 kilometres southwest of Quebec City.
Upon their arrival, officers found two bodies outside the house with visible marks of violence on them.
The two people found dead were identified as Benoit Daigle, 39, and Nancy Samson, 44 .
During the day Sunday, police refused to say whether the two individuals were a couple and if they owned the house near where their bodies were found.
Information obtained by police at the crime scene led them to another house in St. Isidore, south of Levis.
“Once there, the police found three unconscious people,” explained SQ spokesman Melanie Dumaresq to La Presse Canadienne.
Police determined Medora Godin, 13, was dead at the scene.
Another girl, aged 11, was rushed to the hospital where Sunday night her life was still in danger.
The other person found in St. Isidore, also in critical condition, is a man considered to be the suspect in the triple homicide and in the attempted murder of the 11-year-old.
Reports say the man is Martin Godin, the father of the two girls found at the St. Isidore home.
Godin reportedly dated Samson, the woman found dead near the St. Croix home.
The police could not confirm, however, the link between the man and the victims found in St. Croix.
