Montreal police make arrest in ‘Mabus’ case on online death threats

Montreal police announced an arrest has been made in the so-called Mabus case of a man making death threats online.

The police have been inundated with complaints from around the world regarding the man, and made a public plea last week for people to stop sending complaints because an investigation is underway.

The threats often come from someone using the pseudonym David Mabus, but he is widely believed to be Dennis Markuze, 36, a St-Laurent man. He also uses the screen name Hebert Marxuxe.

Police did not announce who they arrested and said no further details would be provided as the investigation is ongoing — via redwolf.newsvine.com
