Beyond Local: Man charged in death of Métis hunters confessed to police; trial continues – Mountain View Today

“We just made a bad judgment call. Should have phoned right off the hop … it’d have been a lot less than what it is now,” said Roger Bilodeau about not calling the RCMP the night two Métis hunters were shot to death on the highway.

Roger Bilodeau confessed to being involved in the deaths of two Métis hunters, just hours after he claimed to be innocent, according to RCMP interviews played in an Edmonton courtroom Thursday and Friday.

Bilodeau, 58, is charged with second degree murder along with his son Anthony Bilodeau, 33, stemming from a shooting that took place on the evening on Saturday, March 28, 2020 near Glendon.
