''Quebec provincial police declared the decades-old murder of 10-year-old Marie-Chantale Desjardins solved on Tuesday, saying advanced forensic biology methods have resulted in a murder charge for a 61-year-old inmate of a prison north of Mont-Tremblant, Que.

Réal Courtemanche, 61, was arrested this morning at La Macaza Institution, a federal medium-security prison, and was charged with first-degree murder today in a court in Saint-Jérôme, Que.

Desjardins was last seen alive leaving a friend's house in Sainte-Thérèse, a suburb on Montreal's north shore, on July 16, 1994. Her body was found four days later in the neighbouring town of Rosemère, in a wooded area behind the Place Rosemère shopping centre.''

"In the document outlining the dangerous offender decision, Trudel noted that prior to the convictions for the Princeville kidnapping, Courtemanche had been convicted of 89 criminal offences since 1981, including 11 "involving the use of violence."

"The next court date has been set for Jan. 17, Baribeau said.'''

''Courtemanche has been convicted of 89 criminal offences since 1981. In 2015, he was declared a dangerous offender and given an indeterminate sentence — which has no set end date — after his conviction for kidnapping a woman and assaulting her with a knife.

The accused’s next appearance in court is set for Jan. 17, 2024. Courtemanche’s legal aid lawyer said his client requested to stay at the same prison for safety reasons, given the nature of the charge.''
