An eastern enclave of Verdun was the site of a murder Friday, as a man named Peter was killed with a knife on a balcony at 3862 Allen. Peter was an English-speaking drug dealer familiar to the area but who lived in an apartment opposite the Verdun Hospital.
He could also speak French, but with an English accent. He was about 40 years old and had grey-and-black hair.
He had a brother named Sonny.
The block sits south of Lasalle Ave in a densely-populated, somewhat drug-plagued area inhabited by many people who are day patients of the Douglas mental hospital.The owners of the apartment building are Diane Gaudreau and Paul Lagace.
