"I don't want to die before I had the pleasure of fucking some girl."

Robert Poulin (1957 - 27 October 1975) was an 18-year-old former student responsible for a rampage-style school shooting at St. Pius X High School which saw the death of a classmate and wounding five others before he took his life by a single shotgun blast to the head. [1][2]
Before the shooting, Poulin had lured a neighbor, 17-year-old Sri Lankan girl named Kim Rabot, to his bedroom where he had raped, sodomized and stabbed her to death before setting fire to his house. [1][2]
Early Life
Robert Poulin was born to Stuart and Mary Poulin. Stuart was a former pilot with the Royal Canadian Air Force working as an elementary teacher whilst his mother worked as a nurse. By all accounts they were loving parents. The Poulin family resided in a two-and-a-half story Tudor-style home in South Ottawa.
Robert was noted as being a studious and keenly intelligent young man. He greatly enjoyed war-gaming with his small group of friends in person or over the telephone. Another interest Robert pursued was assembling model airplanes.
As his was a pilot with the Royal Canadian Air Force, Robert had asperations of following in his father's footsteps. These asperations were swiftly dashed after being rejected from the training program due to psychological immaturity and physical conditions such as his poor eyesight and convex chest deformity.
Robert was described as a meek, as "someone who would not hold a grudge". He went to church regularly, and had jobs delivering newspapers and working in a pizza shop. His parents described him as a very conscientious paperboy who at one time had two routes and never missed a day.
