Grenon, of Granby, Que., east of Montreal, is also charged with attempted murder and sexual assault in connection with a case in the provincial capital just months after Potvin’s killing. Police say their investigation into Potvin’s murder turned up similarities with the Quebec City case from July 2000 in which a female student, living alone, was assaulted and left for dead but survived the attack.
In a statement, provincial police praised the work of investigators in the cold case division and the forensic science laboratory and “the innovative methods used today in forensic biology” that allowed for an arrest.This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 12, 2022.
