Man charged with premeditated murder after attack in Montreal in September

A 30-year-old man has been charged with premeditated murder after a man died from injuries sustained in an attack in the Montreal borough of Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve earlier this month.

Montreal police said they received a 911 call on September 1 after a 60-year-old man was attacked in an alley near the intersection of Bennett Avenue and Adam Street.

When officers arrived, they found the victim with injuries to his upper body. He was taken to hospital in critical condition. The next day, police arrested a 30-year-old man for assault.

According to police spokesman Jean-Pierre Brabant, the victim succumbed to his injuries in hospital on September 12.

The file was then handed over to the police’s serious crime division.

According to court documents, Timothée Cadieux was charged with the murder of Jocelyn Cauchon.

His death was the 25th murder in Montreal this year.

The city recorded its 26th homicide on Sunday after a 19-year-old man was stabbed during a fight in Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve. The stabbing occurred just before 7 p.m. on Arcand Street, near Robert-Jurie Street.
