Oct 12, 2022 | 11:18 AM

MONTREAL — Quebec provincial police say they’ve made an arrest in the homicide of a junior college student 22 years ago.

Guylaine Potvin was found dead in her apartment in Jonquière, Que., about 215 kilometres north of Quebec City, on April 28, 2000.

Provincial police say they’ve arrested Marc-André Grenon, 47, in connection with Potvin’s murder.

Grenon, of Granby, Que., east of Montreal, is also charged with attempted murder and sexual assault in connection with the case.

Police say that their investigation turned up similarities with another case in Quebec City from 2000, in which a female student, living alone, was assaulted and left for dead but survived the attack.
