A Quebec coroner’s inquiry is hearing on Mar. 11 from police officers who had interacted with a mentally ill man in the months before he murdered a provincial police sergeant.

Provincial police officer Charles Côté says he encountered 35-year-old Isaac Brouillard Lessard on Dec. 30, 2022, days after the man moved to an apartment in Louiseville, Que., about 100 kilometres northeast of Montreal.
