The three cases of Steve Chassé, accused of murder in connection with events that occurred in October 2023, were postponed until March 3, in Superior Court, for the continuation of legal proceedings. The Crown and the defense discussed the possibility of reaching an agreement.
A publication ban prevents the explanation of the elements on which this report is based. Steve Chassé is accused of the murder of septuagenarian Pierre Belisle, which he allegedly committed in September 2023 in Cacouna.
He also faces charges of indignity to a corpse, attempted murder of two police officers, recklessly discharging a firearm, carrying a weapon for a dangerous purpose and inciting hatred. towards an identifiable group in public.
In crisis, Steve Chassé barricaded himself in his home in Cacouna for approximately 24 hours, between October 11 and 12, 2023, before the Sûreté du Québec (SQ) tactical intervention group arrested him.
On October 19, SQ investigators found human remains at the Cacouna technical landfill, thus confirming the theory of murder to explain the disappearance of the septuagenarian.
The accused, who is represented by Me Félix-Antoine Doyon, is currently at the Philippe-Pinel Institute in Montreal. The defense waived the preliminary investigation last week.
