Robert Choquette Jr. was murdered in October 1998 at the intersection of  Frontenac and Sherbrooke streets in Montreal, the night of his 18th birthday.  This tragedy left a profound mark in Michelle Choquette's family.  Robert Jr. was her nephew (son of Robert Sr. and Pierrette Lussier).  To add insult to injury, it appears the murder was a gratuitous act of someone who drove a screwdriver through his head.

Guy Adrien Langlois was convicted of second degree murder on September 27, 2000 and is now serving a life sentence (the following article refers and was contributed by Lucie Daoust).
