Murder of Dianne Aubert and Attempted Murder of Mayline Grenier

In the early morning of February 16, 1982,  roommates 23-year-old Dianne Aubert and 42-year-old of Mayline Grenier, both trans women, were in their apartment in Québec City, Québec, Canada. Two men would make it into their apartment and stab the two. Dianne would be stabbed 121 times and Mayline would be stabbed 30 times. Both were stabbed in their backs. The attackers would use 5 knives on the two. They would then rob the place of valuables such as furs and jewelry. 

Around 1:21 a.m. police were called to the apartment due to the sound of moaning. Dianne was found naked on her bed and she had died. Maryline who was also on a bed (not stated if it was the same bed) was partially dressed and was still alive.

The killers were men around 25 years old and had long hair. Both were around 5'10" and 150 lbs. 

The motive for the crime is unknown. Both roommates were transgender and it's possible that it was a hate crime. It could have been a robbery gone wrong or maybe the robbery was a second thought. It's unknown.
