Santo Domingo.– Dominican police said they have arrested a Quebec man in connection with the case of a Quebec woma's murder in Dominican Republic.

The suspect reportedly held Ms. Gaudreault responsible for the death of a friend, who was electrocuted this winter while doing renovations at the woman's home. She was found dead in the bathroom of her ranch Thursday.

According to published reports, Louise (Luisa) Nicole Gaudreault, 54, was stabbed in the neck and chest areas with a pair of scissors. She had been living in the country for the past 25 years and managed a business renting horses to tourists.

Her 25-year-old son, who still lives in the Dominican Republic, was in Quebec on vacation at the time of his mother’s death. Gaudreault's body was found by one of her employees. According to reports, theft was a possible motive in the murder, but it is not yet known if anything was taken from the home.
