In October 1994 an infant, aged three months, was killed at the group's centre in Morin Heights, Quebec. The baby had been stabbed repeatedly with a wooden stake.

A few days later, Di Mambro and twelve followers performed a ritual Last Supper. A few days after that, mass suicides and murders were c ...

It is stated that the OTS absorbed another neo-templar organization called Foundation Golden Way, which was led by Joseph Di Mambro (1926 - 1995), who was born at Pont Saint-Esprit in France.
