MONTREAL — Quebec’s chief coroner, Pascale Descary, is ordering a public inquest into the 2019 killing of a Montreal woman and her two young children.

Descary says the inquest will also probe the suicide of the woman’s husband and the children’s father, who is believed to have killed his family before he killed himself.

In a news release, Descary says new facts have come to light in recent days that require further investigation, but she did not give details.

Coroner Alain Manseau investigated the four deaths.

Manseau’s report, released to The Canadian Press today, says Dahia Khellaf and her two sons, Adam, 4, and Aksil, 2, were found strangled to death on Dec. 11, 2019.
