Eight-Year-Old Montreal Boy Found Dead in Vermont, Mom Facing Murder Charge

Posted on: Wednesday, 16 August 2006, 18:00 CDT

ISLE LA MOTTE, Vt. (CP) - A Vermont state attorney says it could be next week before the mother of an eight-year-old Montreal boy found dead in Lake Champlain is formally charged with murder.

The body of Nicholas Desnoyers-Langlois was found Tuesday evening in about a metre of water of the lake just off shore near the Vermont town Isle La Motte. It's an island in Lake Champlain just south of the Canadian border.

Louise Desnoyers, 48, who police said was despondent over recent marital problems, was found Tuesday morning in a shed on the other side of the island.

She was taken to hospital for what authorities first described as life-threatening, self-inflicted injuries but police say her condition has improved.

Attorney David Miller says he is hoping to lay the murder charge this week but adds it may not happen before next week.
