About Albert Guay

  • Joseph-Albert Guay (23 September 1918 – 12 January 1951) was a Canadian mass murderer, who on 9 September 1949, killed 23 people aboard Canadian Pacific Air Lines Flight 108 near Sault-au-Cochon, Quebec using a dynamite time bomb.
  • Guay planted the bomb in a case delivered by the partner in crime, Marguerite Ruest Pitre the very same day to clear a debt.
  • Pitre was later identified as coming to the airport by taxi wearing a dark dress and spotted by a local journalist.
  • Guay's wife, the intended victim, was convinced to deliver an important command to Baie-Comeau on behalf of her husband.
  • This way Guay would bypass a divorce, obtain life insurance money and elope with his mistress. Guay, along with two accomplices, were convicted and sentenced to death, and he was executed in 1951.
