While we initially feared for health, the 46-year-old man and father of the two children who died yesterday, was to appear for the first time in the Court of Quebec today.

For what’s about the accusation of assault, it would have been inflicted on the mother of the children, a 45-year-old woman, who was subsequently transported for a severe nervous shock.

A call made to 911, shortly before 6 p.m. yesterday, directed the officers to the scene of that family tragedy, which looks like infanticide, on Lauzon Street.

The children were then transported to a hospital centre, where they were declared dead.

The children, an 11-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl, reportedly died of injuries sustained.

According to some media and details not yet confirmed by the SPL, it would be a father who took the lives of his two children, by drowning.

The police indeed arrested a 46-year-old man following the crime. He was also reportedly transported to a hospital. Once his state of health allows it, the man should be met by the investigators.

Another member of the family, who would be the mother of the children, would also have been transported to a hospital centre, due to a severe nervous shock.

It was 5:49 p.m. when 911 was told a fire had just broken out in the sector of Sainte-Dorothée, located just south of boulevard Notre-Dame.

When arriving on the scene 5 minutes later, the first of the twenty firefighters called quickly spotted the apparent flames at the back of this two-storey residential building.

While completing the evacuation of the house, firefighters began an aggressive attack on the fire, which had spread from the exterior wall of the first floor to the roof.

Luckily, the smoke alarm was functional, while the assistance of the Service de police de Laval (SPL) and Urgences-santé was requested as a precautionary measure.

Firefighters finally took control of the fire at 6:53 p.m., after having tried to protect the property as much as possible.

The fire nevertheless resulted in damages estimated at $250,000 for the house, and $50,000 for its content.
