A 30-year-old man has been charged with two counts of second-degree murder as residents of Wendake, Que., mourn the deaths of two boys from their community. The boys, ages 2 and 5, were found dead at a home in the Huron-Wendat First Nation just outside Quebec City early Sunday morning. Quebec provincial police say the man, who had turned himself in, was charged via video conference late Sunday. Ghislain Picard, Quebec and Labrador regional chief for the Assembly of First Nations, said the news of the boys' deaths shook the people of Wendake but also affected Indigenous people who live elsewhere. People have been leaving stuffed animals, candles and drawings at the base of a tree outside the church since Sunday.
