Caron confirmed that new evidence, including a Quebec Transport Ministry surveillance video, showed that a third person had been present during the attack against Vig.

“We will not hesitate to apologize to Mr. Camara when the time is right,” Caron said. “We will do it once we have all the elements necessary to do it.”
