The lawyer for the man who ran down two soldiers south of Montreal thisweek, killing one of them, described her client as a "very calm, evenfriendly" man.
"There was no indication that he would do such a thing," said PatriciaGauthier, who was representing 25-year-old Martin Couture-Rouleau in a childcustody case.
Couture-Rouleau alleged his ex-wife was preventing him from being able tosee their child because he had converted to Islam in April 2013.
"The applicant is Muslim and believes (his former wife) refuses him accessto (their child) for that reason alone," court documents filed Oct. 14 say.
He and his former spouse were due in court Nov. 5.
Gauthier said her client's change in faith was "a way for him to see life ashe pleased. He never seemed violent."
Couture-Rouleau, who changed his first name to Ahmad, also had financialproblems.
“Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish.”
