Montreal police are now treating the deaths of a Pointe-Aux-Trembles mother and her two sons as a triple homicide.

Dahia Khellaf, 42, and her sons, Askil, two, and Adam, four, were found dead last Wednesday in their east-end Montreal home.

The nightbefore their bodies were discovered, the woman's husband, Nabil Yssaad, 46, took his own life.

Police confirmed Tuesdaythe two events are linked. Theyare exploring the possibility of a murder-suicide.

The investigation continues.

Yssaad had been charged with two counts of assault against Khellaf for separate incidents in August 2018.

He was recently acquitted and had signed a peace bond, agreeing not to contact his wife for a year.
