Quebec manhunt: Young sisters found dead were victims of double murder by father, police say

Quebec provincial police say two young girls who went missing and whose bodies were found in a wooded area southwest of the province’s capital were murdered by their father. Guy Lapointe, director of communications for the Sûreté du Québec, said Wednesday that Norah and Romy Carpentier, 11 and 6 — who were the subject of an Amber Alert and widespread search — were killed with a heavy object.
