Police credit forensic science for arrest in 2014 killing of woman near Montreal

LONGUEUIL, Que. — A man is facing a first-degree murder charge in the killing of a young woman nearly a decade after she was found dead on Montreal’s South Shore.

Jenique Dalcourt, 23, was struck and killed with an iron bar as she walked along a bike path in Longueuil, Que., on Oct. 21, 2014.

Longueuil police say the suspect, Michael Mcduff-Jalbert, was arrested Tuesday and will appear in court today.

Mcduff-Jalbert, who was 26 at the time of Dalcourt’s killing, was arrested a few days after she was found dead, but he was released because police did not have enough evidence to keep him detained.
