Doctor Guy Turcotte, 38, a Cardiologist from Piedmont, Quebec, admitted Monday that he stabbed his two children in 2009.
Dr. Turcotte’s attorney, Pierre Poupart, made the admission at the opening of a trial, saying his client admits to causing the death of his children, five-year-old Olivier and three-year-old Anne-Sophie, on Feb. 21, 2009.
The children were found stabbed to death at their home about 40 miles north of Montreal.
Turcotte has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
