Ontario Provincial Police say two suspects connected with a home invasion that left two suspected intruders dead in South Glengarry in early 2025 are now facing murder charges. The incident happened at a home on Old Highway 2 on Feb. 2, 2025. According to police, three people attempted to break into the home. Two of them were shot and killed, while the third escaped. Police identified the deceased as Eddie Alobhouet, 19, and Tristan Simard, 18. Both were residents of Saint-Jérôme, Que. Investigators believe the incident was targeted. The residents of the home were not injured. Four individuals have been charged so far in connection with the incident. Two of the suspects now face additional charges. Marc André DeMontigny-Defoy, 36, of Coteau-du-Lac, Que. was charged with two counts of second-degree murder in addition to nine previously announced offences. Michael Cloutier, 40, of Valleyfield, Que. also now faces two counts of second-degree murder. He was already facing 10 charges in connection with the incident. Police had previously identified him as the person who fled the scene at the time of the incident. “This investigation began as a home invasion which led to the deaths of two individuals and has resulted in several arrests,” said OPP Det. Marty McConnell, in a news release Wednesday. “These charges are the result of the dedicated work of investigators who have continued to follow the evidence throughout this complex investigation.” Last week, OPP announced they had arrested one of the residents of the home on charges relating to the unauthorized storage and possession of a firearm. At the time of the shooting, several items, including guns, were seized from the home. The fourth suspect, a 34-year-old woman, faces charges accessory to commit an indictable offence and obstructing justice. DeMontigny-Defoy and Cloutier are scheduled to appear before the Court of Justice in Cornwall at a later date.
