A jury in l’Orignal has found Alain Bellefeuille guilty of first-degree murder in the shooting death of OPP Sgt. Eric Mueller in a standoff at Bellefeuille’s home on May 11, 2023.
The jury also found Bellefeuille guilty of attempted murder in the shooting of constables Marc Lauzon and François Gamache-Asselin in the standoff.
Bellefeuille admitted at trial that he fired the shots that killed and wounded the officers, but claimed self-defence, fearing he was the victim of a home invasion.
