The former cardiologist Guy Turcotte will undergo a second trial starting Monday, September 14th, for the murder of his two young children. 

According to CTV News, Turcotte was accused of murdering his 5-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter in 2009. He was declared to be not criminally responsible for his children's murder during the first trial in 2011. 

Quebec's Court of Appeal overruled that verdict and demanded a new one. He was later treated at the Philippe-Pinel Institute where he was released in September 2014. 

The trial will take place in a court house in St-Jerome, and is expected to last several months.

Exterminators say that Montreal's bedbug infestations are out of control and that they can hardly keep up with the demand.

According to CBC, Maheu Extermination Ltée specialist Harold Leavey says he would have one or two bedbug cases a year back in 2000, but now it is up to 50 or 100 cases a day.

Exterminators are also saying that bedbugs have become more resistant to the chemicals used to kill them, meaning more visits are necessary to fully eliminate the infestation.
