The man who allegedly fatally stabbed a Quebec police officer was on probation and had a history of mental health issues. Isaac Brouillard Lessard, age 35, had been previously accused of crimes on at least five instances and was later found not criminally responsible, due to reasons of mental illness.
Brouillard Lessard fatally stabbed Maureen Breau, a sergeant with Sûreté du Québec and mother of two. The man also wounded her partner on March 17, while the officers were arresting him at his home in Louiseville, Quebec, on accusations of uttering threats. He was killed by police officers who arrived as backup on the scene.
