MONTREAL – Sebastien Normandin has a PhD in history from McGill University and for three years was a visiting instructor at Michigan State University. But recently Normandin’s public writing has been confined to Twitter and Facebook, and he’s not keeping any campus office hours. The former academic was last spotted en route to France, authorities say, fleeing charges that he attempted to murder his ex-girlfriend and her new partner in Victoria. The Interpol “red notice” is a request to police worldwide to locate and arrest Normandin. Normandin faces two charges of attempted murder, as well as charges of assault causing bodily harm, criminal harassment and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.
