A 36-year-old Montreal man, Shilei Du, has been charged with first-degree murder after allegedly killing Guangmei Ye on November 7. Du was previously out on bail for making death threats against Ye, with his next court appearance set for November 19. Police discovered Ye's body on November 10 at a home in Candiac, Quebec. Du had been arrested shortly after the discovery. His bail conditions included staying away from Ye and undergoing anger management therapy. The case highlights ongoing concerns about domestic violence in Quebec. Recent measures, such as an ankle bracelet monitoring system for offenders, have been introduced, but Du was not required to wear one under his bail conditions.
