QUEBEC—A deadly rampage through the streets and alleyways of Old Quebec overnight Saturday broke the silence of a quiet Halloween and rattled the residents of this small historic district, leaving them to mourn the loss of two of their neighbours.
Police officers and investigators patrolled streets and alleys on Sunday, placing evidence markers and taking photographs. They stood on street corners and cordoned off zones where they believe the suspect had travelled the night before, dressed in a medieval-style costume and carrying what the police said was a katana—a curved, two-handed Japanese longsword, which is traditionally honed to a razor edge.
