Video transcript:
00:00 | The man you see on your screen is Fred Hadj Messaoud, 39 years old. | |
00:04 | He’s the suspect who allegedly sprayed gasoline on his ex-wife | |
00:07 | and set her on fire in the Saint-Sauveur district last Friday. | |
00:10 | He appeared this morning at the Victoria park police station | |
00:14 | by telephone for attempted murder and aggravated assault. | |
00:18 | He was arrested Saturday morning in Drummondville. This afternoon he headed to the Quebec detention | |
00:23 | centre where he will stay until his return to court. He may face life imprisonment in this case. | |
00:30 | Considering that gasoline was used to set someone on fire, | |
00:33 | it seems certain that he will be charged with attempted murder. | |
00:36 | In this area the maximum sentence is life in very severe | |
00:41 | aggravated circumstances. This will be considered, because | |
00:47 | if it is done it would be done in the context of domestic violence, | |
00:51 | and the courts will take that into account by imposing | |
00:54 | a more severe sentence. —The 39-year-old man was a taxi driver. | |
00:57 | He worked as a member of Taxi Co-op Quebec. | |
01:00 | The establishment’s management reacted to the news | |
01:03 | this afternoon by stating that a person with a criminal record | |
01:06 | cannot be a taxi driver. A conviction would mean suspension. | |
01:10 | Fred Hadj Messaoud should be back in court tomorrow | |
01:13 | at the Quebec City courthouse. Pascal Robitaille for TVA news in Quebec City. |

Messaoud pretty much near the middle of Algeria.

Could still be an “all faith” righteous man? or just an occasional attendee.
Now is it a synagogue? church? or mosque?
Nothing definite, mind you.
Culture enriching delicacies.
