MONTREAL - The trial for a Quebec man charged with killing three pedestrians with his truck will begin mid-May and is expected to last eight weeks.聽
The Crown prosecutor's office says a judge confirmed today that Steeve Gagnon's trial will begin May 15 in Rimouski, Que.
Gagnon faces 14 counts in the alleged attack in Amqui, Que., on March 13, 2023, including three counts of first-degree murder.
He is also charged with nine counts of attempted murder and two counts of dangerous driving causing death.
A truck drove into several groups of pedestrians on a main street in the town about 350 kilometres northeast of Quebec City in what police have described as an intentional act.
Gagnon turned himself in after the alleged attack, which claimed the lives of 65-year-old G茅rald Charest, 73-year-old Jean Lafreni猫re and 41-year-old Simon-Guillaume Bourget.
