GATINEAU, Que. 鈥� Provincial police have launched a murder investigation after a 28-year-old man was found seriously injured in Outaouais, Que., on Friday evening.
Officers received a call at around 11:15 p.m. that night about a home in the municipality of Cantley, in a neighbourhood roughly 12 kilometres north of downtown Gatineau, where they discovered the victim, Karapet Mikaelyan.
Police spokesman St茅phane Tremblay says the badly wounded man was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after.
