The City of Brockville issued a public statement on May 8, 2026, to address a tragic incident that took place at a home on Cartier Court the previous day. On May 7, 2026, at approximately 11:30 a.m., local police discovered the bodies of a 49-year-old woman and her two daughters, aged 17 and 15, inside the residence.
In response to the events, the City of Brockville has lowered flags at city facilities and is directing residents to available support resources. Mayor Matt Wren described the loss as an unspeakable tragedy, noting that the victims were killed in the place they should have been safest.
A 17-year-old youth from Brockville has been charged with three counts of first-degree murder and one count of assaulting a police officer. According to the police, the suspect was in a relationship with one of the daughters, and the incident is being investigated as a case of intimate partner violence and femicide. The identity of the accused is protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, and he is expected to return to court on May 28, 2026.
