MONTREAL — Family members of a provincial police sergeant killed in the line of duty a year ago told a coroner's inquest Wednesday they will be forever haunted by her murder, but they hope it results in change so no other family experiences what they have.

Sanscartier said he hopes the coroner's recommendations will have a profound and swift effect on how mental health cases are dealt with in the future. Three days before the stabbing attack, Brouillard Lessard's parents had tried to get police to arrest him, citing his deteriorating mental health. The parents said they felt abandoned when police visited his apartment and concluded they didn't have reason to hospitalize him.

Sanscartier said Breau was a devoted mother of two who immediately won him over with her charm, kindness and love of life."When you became part of her circle of friends, you got to know a woman who was generous, caring and attentive," he said. Breau was just a few patrol shifts away from beginning a new job as a major crimes investigator.
