Paulet was sentenced on 9 June 1993 to a minimum of 25-years behind bars without chance of parole on 8 June 1993.
Paulet, then 45, along with his mother-in-law Yvonne Allaire-Payette, 48, entered the home of neighbours in their apartment block at 1125 Provencher in Brossard and strangled Beruchi Leylekoglu, 33, and her small daughter Talin, 2. The victims were Turkish immigrants of Armenian extraction.
The duo waited until the husband left for work and two older daughters, aged four and seven went to school on 26 May 1994
They left their apartment 106 to enter and strangle the victims in apartment 217 with a white nylon rope.
The couple was acquainted with the victims and Allaire-Payette had previously entered the apartment in a friendly way, saying it was a nice place.
After robbing and killing the mother and child, the pair drew a swastika on the wall as well as the word terminator.
Leylekoglu's seven-year-old daughter saw the bodies when she returned from school.
Twenty-seven witnesses testified as Paulet's four-day trial, of what Superior Court Justice Rejean Paul described it as the "worst crime I've ever seen."
The duo admitted stealing $4,400 but denied killing the victims, each blaming the other.
A jury of six women and six men took three hours to find Paulet guilty. Paulet had no expression on his face throughout.
The victim's husband, who was also the other smaller victim's father, burst out in tears at the verdict as the rest of the mostly-Armenians in the courtroom cheered it on June 8, 1993.
"Justice is served, unfortunately that will not return my wife and little daughter."
Paulet's lawyer had argued that his client was a puppet of his mother-in-law, who dominated his thoughts and actions.
She actually committed the murders, claimed Marion Burelle, defence attorney. Paulet claimed he couldn't have committed the murders because he had blacked out during the event.
In a statement to police Paulet said "it sicked us to see immigrants with jobs while we lived on social welfare."
After initially denying the involvement, Allaire-Payette pleaded guilty to the crimes in early 1994 and was sentenced to life without chance of parole before 13 years.
She would be 74 today. Paulet, if he's still alive, would be 71.
