Boy murdered at La Ronde July 1976

   The 16-year-old boy on the left was stabbed to death in early July 1976 at La Ronde by four bullies.
  Denis Racine ordered him to hand over his leather jacket but young Roger Arsenault declined.

  Racine then stabbed him in the back and killed him.
  At his trial Racine asked to be hanged rather than be forced to serve life in prison.  Racine was at the centre of a prison revolt at Archambault in 1979.
   The picture at right is what the victim would have looked like had he survived.
