Gilles Meloche is back behind bars after
less than three days on the loose.
Montreal and Quebec provincial police
arrested the convicted murderer Oct. 10,
after he telephoned Le Canal nouvelles’
host Claude Poirier.
“They call it an escape, but all I had to
do was push on the door,” Meloche
recounted to the host of the television
news channel’s broadcast Le négociateur.
“I have tumors, but I don’t know
whether they’re malignant,” he told
Poirier. “I’m not asking for anything. I
just want to stay on the outside until
Christmas.”
“I am able to control my emotions,”
assured the convict, who has been incarcerated for 32 years. “I’ve really changed,
but they don’t want to recognize it.”
Meloche, 56, had been serving an indeterminate sentence since 1980, for second
degree murder, attempted murder,

transfer him to a higher-security facility
because of his flight. Prosecutors are also
considering whether to lay additional
criminal charges for escaping legal custody.

prison as Meloche, Oct. 3, remains at
