Cournoyer's alleged killer may face more charges
Reports suggest that the man who stands accused of killing Natacha Cournoyer last month, could also face some new charges stemming from an incident with a prostitute that happened two weeks after the discovery of Cournoyer's body.
48-year-old Claude Larouche is said to have been involved in an attack on an escort on the night of October 17th at her home in the Hochelaga-Maisonneuve district, during which he apparently punched her several times in the face, and tried to strangle her.
Seems, too, that he snorted cocaine on the premises.
The reports add that the woman in question didn't come forward until he was arrested for Cournoyer's murder, not long after that night.
Cournoyer, you'll recall, went missing on the night of Oct. 1 from a Laval parking lot, and was found dead a few days later in Riviere des Prairies.
Larouche is due back in court tomorrow.
