Two Quebec Teens In Alleged Murder Plot To Remain Behind Bars

The Canadian Press, 10 Dec, 2016 01:31 PM

SAINT-HYACINTHE, Que. — Two Quebec teens charged with conspiracy to commit murder and sexual assault in an alleged plot against some of their classmates will remain behind bars.

In rejecting their bid for release Friday, a judge cited public safety and the need to preserve the public's faith in the judicial system.

The two boys were arrested in September and face 23 charges in all.

Court documents state there were six alleged victims in the plot.

Parents of the accused and those of some of the classmates allegedly targeted were in the courtroom in St-Hyacinthe on Friday.

The case is expected to resume next week.
