A Quebec man who killed a provincial police officer last year gave no indication he was about to become violent, said his lawyer, who was likely the last person to chat with him before the stabbing attack.
Lawyer Yanick Péloquin testified on Feb. 19 during the coroner’s inquest into the death of Sgt. Maureen Breau on March 27 in Louiseville, Que., about 100 kilometres northeast of Montreal. The coroner is also investigating the death of Isaac Brouillard Lessard, 35, who was shot dead by police in his apartment building moments after he attacked Ms. Breau and seriously injured another officer.
