Christmas is around the corner and it's a time of love and cheer but sometimes love turns to hate and gifts turn to bullets. Here's a brief list of some of the murders committed on or around Christmas in the province of Kweeb.
When newly-arrived immigrant Leonard Siragusa returned home at at 11 p.m. on December 23, 1961 he had hoped his loving wife Francesca Siragusa, 22 would launch her loving body around him in a tight clinch of love (cool down! – Chimpes). But when he got home to 227 Mozart he noticed the door was locked. He looked through the window and seemed to see a man leaving through the backdoor. Francesca unlocked the door and told him that it was a neighbour who had dropped by. But the next day husband persisted until she finally confessed that it was her lover. Leonardo had a gun handy and used it. Police initially thought he had killed his wife because he was angry that she had sent $10 to her home back in Italy.
Rheo Robert was a boxer living in Three Rivers Quebec who did the rounds one Christmas until he got to Leo Paul Gauvin’s house at 1009 Lapierre. When he got to that residence he broke the tragic news to his host that he was planning to take off with his wife. The husband was scared of Robert and on December 26, 1962 pulled out a gun and shot Robert to death with a 30 calibre pistol. He was acquitted. .
Pierre Totant must have considered himself very lucky when lovely Claire Laroche, 21, accepted an invitation to his apartment on December 26, 1965. The woman agreed to pop into 3425 Papineau apt. 303 for a little drink and dancing but didn’t plan anything more than that. Alas Totan had other plans and when she refused his advances he killed her. Totan was charged with murder and while awaiting justice he hung himself, ending his life on 5 January 1966. She had been living at 5945 11th Ave. in Rosemount.
Darwin Heilman was a troubled genius who had spent time at the Douglas Hospital and had also taught university. He had fathered two children with Marielle Poirier of St-Bruno but the two had separated and often fought. On 24 December, 1970 he brought his 3 year old son Dean to a shopping centre and then back home. When another quarrel ensued he brought the boy into the bathroom and cut his throat, killing him. Police arrived too late to save the child but at 37 Seigneuriale apartment 2 but they saved him from killing others.

Next time you're fine-dining at the McDonald's on Notre Dame just west of Atwater, remember the bloody double murder that took place in its shadow on New Year's Eve 1972.

| Bernard Barriault. Nice hair eh. |
Next time you're fine-dining at the McDonald's on Notre Dame just west of Atwater, remember the bloody double murder that took place in its shadow on New Year's Eve 1972.
The horrific scene took place in Apt B-26 of 260 Greene - a 27-unit building erected just five years earlier. Bernard Barriault, 22, and his girlfriend Carol Reginbald, 21, returned home from a party in a taxi driven by Yves D'Anjou, 22 of Verdun. They invited him up for a beer after a night of partying. But a killer had been hiding in the home with a rifle. He detained the young woman for some time according to one report and then stabbled all three of them at 260 Greene.
It was midway through the night and the visitor wished Barriault a happy yuletide with two bullets. He died in the bathroom. Regimbald, 21, was found dead in the living room shot and stabbed 30 times. Barriault was a loan shark. D'Anjou was found slumped outside on his taxi but survived. The crime press implied that he committed the crimes, the Gazette that he was a victim. Either way, he survived and would now be about 64 years old.
Jean Guy Lalonde liked to visit his girlfriend, who was a widowed single mother in Brigham in the Townships. On 26 Dec. 1973 he brought gifts but her kids weren’t quite on the same page as him. He was a particularly brutal man who liked children to be disciplined. The power went out and a quarrel ensued and he said he was leaving with the gifts he brought. Well, that wasn't a very popular plan and the woman shot him dead.
In 1976 on Christmas Eve, Gerard Petel, 48, was hanging out at 5049 St. Urbain when a 17-year-old stabbed him to death.
