SQ Spokeswoman Audrey-Anne Bilodeau said while investigators have met with several witnesses they have yet to speak to a man considered to be an important witness in the case.

“He (the important witness) is in hospital with what appear to be self-inflicted injuries,” Bilodeau said, adding that investigators will interview him as soon as his health allows.

No arrests have been made.

Place Mario has been cordoned off to allow crime scene technicians to do their work.
