Crown Begins Cross-examination Of Accused Murderer Richard Henry Bain

The Canadian Press, 22 Jul, 2016 12:21 PM
    MONTREAL — The Crown has begun its cross-examination of accused murderer Richard Henry Bain by referring to psychiatric reports in which he reportedly said he wanted to kill as many Quebec separatists as possible.
     
    Prosecutor Dennis Galiatsatos cited reports from meetings Bain had with a psychiatrist on Sept. 18 and Nov. 9, 2012.
     
    Galiatsatos said Bain told psychiatrist Marie-Frederique Allard his plan on Sept. 4 of that year was to kill as many Quebec separatists as possible, including then-Parti Quebecois leader Pauline Marois.
     
    The accused replied at his first-degree murder trial he has no recollection of saying or writing such things or stating he wanted to set fire to the Metropolis nightclub to emulate a 1972 blaze at a Montreal club that killed 37 people.
     
    Bain, 65, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of lighting technician Denis Blanchette outside the Metropolis as Marois was inside celebrating her party's election victory.
     
    He also faces three charges of attempted murder and two arson-related counts. He has pleaded not guilty to all six.
