A stock promoter was recently convicted of second-degree murder in the Toronto shooting of a millionaire stock broker at the 1987 convention of the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada, and sentenced to life imprisonment.
The man, Timmins Andre Bissonnette, must serve a minimum 13 years before he will be considered for parole eligibility. (He would be in his late 60s by then.)
Described as a penniless stock promoter, Bissonnette shot Joseph Maurice Guy LaMarche in the lobby of the Royal York Hotel. Bissonnette said LaMarche owed him money but had refused to pay it back.
Actually his name is Guy Maurice LaMarche not Joseph.
