Sadness mixed with anger as more than a hundred students marched through a Montreal suburb on Tuesday, in remembrance of their teenage classmate who was killed in a hit-and-run last week.

The students, clad in black and clutching photos of victim Ronia Mansourian, marched from their school in Laval to the local courthouse, where the man accused in the deadly incident appeared at a bail hearing Tuesday afternoon.

Surrounded by police cruisers, the group marched from St. Maxime High School, where the 15-year-old Mansourian had attended classes before her untimely death last Friday.

While the teens said they marched for justice, they also marched to get a glimpse of the man accused in the case.

Mansourian was on a class break from St. Maxime on Sept. 3 when she was struck by a vehicle on nearby Levesque Boulevard.

The collision sent Mansourian across the intersection and into a bus that had stopped to let her cross. She was later rushed to hospital suffering from serious injuries.

Moments after the collision, police say that the driver of the car involved fled the scene.

Several hours after the hit-and-run, 22-year-old Robert Belanger turned himself into police.

That night, Mansourian's family prayed that she would survive the accident.

After the group arrived at the courthouse Tuesday, so did the victim's family. As the suspect walked into the courtroom, the Mansourian family held each other.

Belanger's hearing lasted only moments, and he will be kept in custody until another hearing on Sept. 17.

During his time in court, Belanger kept his back to the audience sobbed openly.

Belanger faces charges of dangerous driving causing death and fleeing the scene of an accident.

Along with allegations that Belanger was speeding, police also say he should not have been behind the wheel in the first place, because numerous traffic offences had led to his license being suspended.

The Crown is also opposing any bail release for Belanger, because he has prior convictions and was awaiting trial on unrelated fraud case.

"We have to prove he's dangerous. We'll submit all our arguments on the seventeenth, but not right now," said prosecutor Jean-Pascal Boucher.

Meanwhile, the Mansourian says they are making for funeral plans, when only last week they were getting ready to celebrate a sweet-16 party.
