Alain Bellefeuille, 39, has been charged with one count of murder, two counts of attempted murder using firearm, according to court records.

The suspect appeared before an Ontario judge by video link on Thursday. Bearded, with long dishevelled hair, Bellefeuille spoke in a low raspy voice, blinked repeatedly and seemed mildly disoriented. A court-appointed lawyer said on his behalf that he was “extremely tired at this point and does not wish to answer any questions.”

Bellefeuille was remanded into custody and given a week to contact counsel. His next court appearance is on May 18.


The court issued a no-contact order between the accused and several individuals, including some of his neighbours.


Police said they believe the suspect was the resident of the home and they are not aware of anyone else who was at the residence. He was not injured during the arrest.

Carrique did not provide specifics on the suspect’s criminal record but said “this is not a case where this is an individual that we have been dealing with repeatedly for years.”
