MONTREAL --
Quebec provincial police confirmed Wednesday night that the bodies of two people found dead in Contrecoeur, north of Montreal, are a murder-suicide.
The victims are Lisette Corbeil, 56 and David Joly, 49, Surete du Quebec spokesperson Valerie Beauchamp told CTV News.

Her death is the 12th reported femicide in Quebec this year.
A source told CTV Joly and Corbeil had been in a relationship some time ago.
The bodies were found shortly before 11 am Wednesday in single-family dwelling on Marie-Victorin Street near Montee St-Roch in Contrecoeur, about an hour northeast of Montreal.
