The top two officers in the Miramichi Police Force did not mince their words when reacting Tuesday to the death of infamous serial killer Allan Legere.
“Burn in hell,” said Deputy Chief Randy Hansen.
“I’ll echo that,” added Chief Brian Cummings. “This individual touched a lot of lives in an unfortunate way, and the Miramichi had to live through this period of time. It’s been a long time coming, but they can rest easy now.”
Both men began their policing careers as cadets within weeks of Legere’s time on the run — Hansen with the Chatham Police Force and Cummings in Sussex.
