Daphné Huard-Boudreault, 18, has died after being found beaten and stabbed inside a Mont-Saint-Hilaire apartment Wednesday afternoon.
The woman’s ex-boyfriend, 22-year-old Anthony Pratte-Lops, was arrested shortly after police made the gruesome discovery.
Neighbour Lauren Gagnon said around 12 p.m. Wednesday, she saw a female police officer walking around the home before entering the basement.
When the officer came back out, she made a call and “many other police officers arrived.”
Gagnon said she saw Pratte-Lops being taken out in handcuffs shortly after, with the body following on a stretcher.
Police say a few hours before the killing, the suspect posted two videos online wishing his ex “all the misery in the world” after discovering she had cheated on him and left him.
“You can’t trust someone 100 per cent,” Pratte-Lops is heard saying.

He mentions the pair had been dating for two years, but had recently broken up.
“We fought to live together, we fought to be together,” he said.
“I hope you’ll be happy in your miserable life. I hope we never get back together.”
According to Sûreté du Québec (SQ) spokesperson Claude Denis, there had been growing tension between the two in recent days, pushing the victim to contact local police to ask for help.
