Police determined Gallien’s death was due to intimate partner violence. Jean was arrested shortly after her death and was charged with second-degree murder on March 1, 2021.
“Intimate parent violence is a complex issue that the RCMP takes very seriously. The RCMP works closely with community partners to try and crate a safe space for victims to seek help,” read the release.
