Police are investigating a possible murder-suicide Wednesday after the bodies of a father and son were discovered inside a Laval apartment.
The son was 43-year-old Richard Germain, a source confirmed to CTV News. His father was 67.
It's the same Richard Germain who was convicted of killing a 15-year-old girl in 2000, another source told Noovo Info.
"At around 10 this morning, we were asked by the Montreal police department to come do a wellness check on a resident in the building right behind me on Orly street in Laval-des-Rapides. Unfortunately when police got inside the apartment, we found two lifeless bodies," said Laval police spokesperson Stéphanie Beshara.
In 2000, a then-20-year-old Germain was charged with first-degree murder in the stabbing death of his girlfriend, 15-year-old Christelle Lavigne.
Germain attempted suicide following her death, but survived.
