Andréanne Dominique is the one who set the trap for a drug dealer linked to Hells last February. She asked him to deliver cocaine to her at a chalet.
He was greeted there by armed men who forced him to follow them.
Torture
Evan Lavoie served as driver in addition to surveillance during the week of torture that followed.
The victim was first taken to a garage, where he was initially held captive. His attackers then cut off one of his ears and subjected him to various forms of abuse, including burning him with a torch.
Some of the attacks were filmed. After two days, the trafficker was transferred to a barn belonging to Georges Roy, in Saint-Malachie. The latter admitted his guilt in April.

In this barn, the kidnappers cut off the victim’s second ear and even tried to make him eat it. Two other people, including Stéphane Boutin, were tortured there by the group linked to the BFM.
Boutin took advantage of a moment when one of the attackers, Patrick Martin, was sleeping to take his weapon and kill him.
During his escape, he also shot Evan Lavoie in the arm before alerting the police.
Evan Lavoie was sentenced to two years in prison for his involvement.
As for Andréanne Dominique, she will be able to regain her freedom to follow six months of closed therapy to treat her drug addiction. She will then have to return before the judge for sentencing.
Another arrest
Another woman, Charlotte Montambault-Vaillancourt, also appeared this Friday in connection with these same events.
So far, four people have pleaded guilty. Georges Roy’s daughter, Marie-Laurence Roy, also pleaded guilty a few days ago and was sentenced to nine months in prison.
In total, 13 people were arrested in this case which led to the triggering of the police strike called “Scandalous”.
