February 4, 1946 - Yves Trudeau
Within the tight, violent world of Canadian outlaw biker culture, Trudeau distinguished himself as the primary enforcer for the Hells Angels' North chapter — a role he carried out across multiple inter-gang conflicts over several decades. His confirmed killings place him among the most prolific serial killers in Canadian history, and his crimes did not end after his cooperation with authorities bought him early release. The parole board's 1994 decision proved catastrophically wrong: within a decade, he had reoffended against a child.
From Wikipedia
Yves Trudeau (4 February 1946 – July 2008), also known as Apache and The Mad Bomber, was a Canadian outlaw biker, gangster, contract killer, rapist, child molester, and serial killer. A former member of the North chapter of Hells Angels in Laval, Trudeau was the club's leading assassin and a major participant in multiple biker conflicts throughout Canadian history, including the Popeyes–Devils Disciples War, the Satan's Choice–Popeyes War and the First Biker War. Frustrated by cocaine addiction and his suspicion that his fellow gang members wanted him dead, he became a Crown witness after the Lennoxville massacre. In exchange, he received a lenient sentence – life in prison but eligible for parole after seven years – for the killing of 43 people from September 1973 to July 1985.
Trudeau was granted parole in 1994, and given the new identity of Denis Côté. He was arrested in March 2004 for sexually assaulting a young boy and received four more years' imprisonment. In 2007, Trudeau learned he had cancer and was transferred from Archambault penitentiary to a medical centre, where he died in 2008. He was one of Canada's most notorious and prolific serial killers.
