Mahan's Homicide: 49-Year-Old Marcellin Koman Mbo Charged
From small-town Châteauguay in Quebec comes a chilling tale of tragedy. Simone Mahan, a 45-year-old mother, was found lifeless in her Jules-Dumouchel Street residence on Wednesday, as confirmed by the Sûreté du Québec (SQ). This gut-wrenching incident has been categorized as a homicide.
Her partner, Marcellin Koman Mbo, aged 49, was nabbed moments later in the Saint-Stanislas-de-Kostka area, a mere 30-minute drive from Châteauguay. Both hail from Côte d'Ivoire.
On Thursday, Koman Mbo was led into the Salaberry-de-Valleyfield courthouse, clad in the stark white jumpsuit of detainees. He politely acknowledged the judge with a soft voice, before being hit with charges of manslaughter. A gag order was also issued, prohibiting him from communicating with around ten individuals, including his children.
Currently, Koman Mbo remains behind bars, awaiting his court hearing on May 29 for further judicial proceedings.
