Story here. Excerpt:

'SAGUENAY, Que. — A Quebec woman charged with killing her three children and helping her husband to kill himself was granted bail under strict conditions by a judge on Monday.

Cathie Gauthier faces three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her three children — 12-year-old Joelle, seven-year-old Marc-Ange, and four-year-old Louis-Philippe.

She also faces one count of aiding her husband Marc Laliberte, 46, to commit suicide in what Quebec provincial police have alleged was a murder-suicide pact.

The details of Gauthier’s bail hearing cannot be reported because the Quebec Superior Court judge hearing the case granted a defence request for a publication ban.'
