The 1019 Report

Karyne Légaré, the Coteau du Lac mother accused of murdering her 5-year-old son, was back in court last Friday, where the Crown announced that it had additional evidence, and requested that it be given more time before proceeding.

Quebec Court judge Mylène Grégoire granted the request and set Légaré’s next appearance for Nov. 22.

Légaré, 29, appeared before the judge at the Valleyfield courthouse via videoconference from the Leclerc Penitentiary in Laval, where she has been held since Sept. 18, the day she was arrested by Sûreté du Québec officers at her home on Chemin du Fleuve. Police had received a frantic 911 call made from the Légaré’s residence. On the scene, police discovered the lifeless body of the boy. Both Légaré and another person were taken to hospital. Police said previously that Légaré had attempted to take her own life.
