A teenager has been accused of killing two young men when she was 15: the body of one was found in a field in Montérégie in April, and the other was murdered days later in a Toronto suburb.
The Sûreté du Québec believes it has succeeded in solving the murder of a 16-year-old boy who was found lifeless in Saint-Zotique last spring. Investigators initially had difficulty identifying the victim, particularly because of his multiple injuries.
The night before, a surveillance camera reportedly captured an SUV speeding into and out of farmland to dispose of the young man’s body.
A publication ban prevents us from identifying the teenager.
The man, who lived in Provost, Laurentians, had been missing since late March. He was last seen alive in a Montreal metro station three weeks before his body was found.
Serious allegations
After a long investigation, the investigators finally put handcuffs on the wrists of one suspect: she was just a 16-year-old teenager. He was recently charged with first-degree murder in the Youth Division of Salaberry-de-Valleyfield Court.
A Mississauga, Ont., resident has also been charged with accessory after the fact in Ajax and other cities across the province within 10 days of the murder.
A request may be made that the accused be sentenced as an adult.

According to our information, the accused is currently being held in Ontario, where he is facing another charge of murder.
Zachry Ramnath, the victim in the case, is a friend of the youth found in Saint-Zotique.
The body of the Montreal teenager was found on a trail fifty kilometers north of Toronto on April 23, six days after the first victim. A citizen made the gruesome discovery while walking his dog.
York Regional Police arrested the 16-year-old in June. A 19-year-old youth has also been charged in connection with the case.
The girl accused of two murders was only 15 when the crimes took place.
He will return to court in the coming weeks.
