Police in Longueuil, Que., say they have made an arrest in the death of 42-year-old Luc Domingue last month.

Domingue had been dropped off at a local hospital on Nov. 7, with serious injuries and died a short time later.

At the time, police appealed to the public for help in identifying the driver of a black four-door Subaru Impreza from 2011 who allegedly left the victim at the hospital.

In a press release Thursday, police said they arrested Peter Philip Czaputowicz, a 36-year-old Longueuil resident.

He is expected to appear at the Longueuil courthouse to face second-degree murder charges.

The crime is said to have taken place in a residence on Terrasse Simard in the Longueuil borough of St-Hubert.
