William Robitaille, spokesperson for Quebec City police, says a 61-year-old man was arrested the same day in connection with the investigation.

Robitaille says evidence gathered by police led them to search the wooded area with assistance from Lévis police.

He says the suspect is scheduled to appear in Quebec City court today.

Robitaille says Quebec’s prosecutions office has taken over the case.
