MONTREAL – Quebec provincial police say a man has been charged in the slaying of Véronic Champagne last month.
David Guertin, 41, is charged with second-degree murder and arson in his ex-partner’s killing.
Champagne, 40, was found seriously injured inside an apartment that had been set on fire in Rougemont, Que., 50-kilometres east of Montreal.
Champagne died in hospital a short time later while Guertin had also sustained significant injuries and was hospitalized.
Provincial police say they were initially unable to question Guertin for a few weeks due to his injuries.
Guertin will appear in court in St-Hyacinthe, Que. on Wednesday.
