Gatineau, Que., police are handing over a homicide investigation in Old Hull to its provincial counterpart, citing its possible link to organized crime.
A man was found injured and unconscious on Dec. 11 shortly after 8 p.m., at 187 rue Eddy. He was taken to the hospital and later pronounced dead.
GATINEAU, QC. Gatineau police (SPVG) say the provincial police force is now leading the investigation into a recent homicide. In a media release on Wednesday, the SPVG said they have transferred responsibility for the investigation to the Sûreté du Québec (SQ) due to a possible link to organized crime, but a team of local investigators will still work full-time on the case in partnership with the provincial police force. The SQ said they took carriage of the file on Dec. 18. Anyone with information about this homicide is now asked to contact the Central Criminal Information Center at 1 800-659-4264.
