MONTREAL — Camping Adam et Ève bills itself as an adults-only destination where “liberated people” can live out their sexual fantasies.

But police say the free-love spirit was shattered this week by old-fashioned jealous rage, leaving three campground regulars dead.

Quebec provincial police allege a jealous ex-lover in his 70s shot his former partner and her new lover before taking his own life. Police called to the site Monday afternoon found the bodies of Suzanne Gareau, 50, Rodrigue Tremblay, 77 and Denys Carpentier, 76.

Carpentier is believed to have killed the others before turning a revolver on himself. “It’s probably linked to a love triangle,” Sgt. Claude Denis of the Sûreté du Québec said.

Martin Sanfaçon of the Quebec Coroner’s Office confirmed that the victims appeared to have died from gunshots. A revolver was discovered on the scene, he said through a spokeswoman.

People at the campground in Sainte-Brigitte-des-Saults, about 100 kilometres northeast of Montreal, told TVA that Gareau had recently split with Carpentier and moved in with Tremblay, who stayed in a cottage on the campground. They said the two men had been close friends.
