Accused in Quebec daycare deaths not criminally responsible, Crown says

February 21, 2025
The man accused of killing two children and injuring six others when the bus he was driving crashed into a Montreal-area daycare two years ago should be found not criminally responsible on account of a mental disorder, the Quebec Crown said Friday.Prosecutor Karine Dalphond told Superior Court Justice Eric Downs that the Crown and defence will now present the facts of the case jointly when Pierre Ny St-Amand’s murder trial is back in court on April 7. Dalphond said the Crown asked a second psychiatrist to examine Ny St-Amand after a first expert concluded he should not be held criminally responsible.
