The mother of a Laval woman found dead this month in Los Cabos, Mexico says she hopes Christine St-Onge didn't suffer.
The Journal de Montreal says it's believed the 41-year old, who had been missing, was killed because she wanted to leave boyfriend Pierre Bergeron.
The 52-year old Bergeron killed himself after returning to the province alone.
Mexican police said it seemed St-Onge died from cranial trauma and that blood stains were found in her hotel room.
Bergeron's been described as a manipulator who wanted to isloate his girlfriend from her family.
