According to the report, Quebec City Police Commissioner Robert Pigin said at a press conference that the police arrested a Montreal man in the early morning of the 1st local time. The man' name is Carl Giruart and he is 24 years old. The report quoted Canadian media sources as saying that Giruart appeared in court by video and was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and five counts of attempted murder.
Pikin also mentioned that the suspect was "dressed in medieval costume and armed with a Japanese knife, and everything that made us believe that he randomly selected the victim." Pigin added that preliminary information suggests the man is not affiliated with the terrorist group. In addition, Pigin said the suspects were prepared for as much destruction as possible when they came, but did not elaborate. Local media outlet Le Soleil said the suspect had petrol tanks in his car. Pigin declined to comment on the reports.
Quebec City Mayor Regis Labohm told reporters: "We think this is a case. "We need a social debate on the topic of mental health because it's becoming more and more difficult to control." ”
According to previous reports, on the evening of October 31, local time, an attack occurred in Quebec, Canada, and a man wearing a "medieval costume" with a blade was killed, resulting in at least 2 deaths and 5 injuries. The man has now been arrested by the police. According to the BBC and Agence France-Presse on November 1, the assailant, now 24 years old, wore "medieval clothing" last Saturday night and carried a Japanese knife in a residential area near the parliament building. Since the attack occurred on the eve of Halloween, the man's costume did not attract the attention of others at first. Residents of the area have been asked by the police to stay indoors and not to go out.
