It does not tempts me to die at 31 years, "he proclaimed then. But Lefebvre changed his mind a few weeks later when investigators from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in New Brunswick advised him that he would be accused of setting fire to a bar in Moncton. They offered him to collaborate with them in exchange for a new identity, police protection and financial compensation.
