“It is under seal to prevent members of the public from reading the report, which contains personal information about the file and Mr. St-Amand’s situation,” the Crown attorney notes in the file.
Pierre Ny St-Amand is charged with two counts of premeditated murder, one count of attempted murder and several counts of assault.
