GATINEAU – Gatineau police say a 34-year-old man appears to have killed his 30-year-old partner before taking his own life on Wednesday morning in the Hull sector.
Gatineau police say they were called around 2 a.m. to an apartment on Laurier Street, where a possible early-stage fire was reported inside the unit.
Upon arrival, officers found two unconscious people on the fourth floor; both were pronounced dead at the scene.
