A 24-year-old man who killed three police officers and wounded two others in the Canadian city of Moncton after quoting the lyrics of a MEGADETH song has pleaded guilty to three counts of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder.According to CBC News, Justin Bourque could face consecutive life sentences with no chance of parole for 75 years for the three first-degree murder charges.A sentencing hearing will be held on October 27. Bourque was arrested on June 6 in a Moncton resident's backyard following a manhunt that spanned 30 hours.He posted the lyrics to the MEGADETH song "Hook In Mouth" on his Facebook page just hours before he committed the crimes. On May 5, he posted the lyrics to DETHKLOK's "Castratikon".According to International Business Times , the lyrics from the song "Hook in Mouth" by MEGADETH allude to a "little man with a big eraser, changing history" with the final lyric of the status stating: "I believe my kingdom will come." The chorus of the song spells out "Freedom" in acronym. Other cryptic references include a "cockroach in the concrete" and if you "make a person disappear... no one will ever miss you."Canadian police released the above image of Justin Bourque dressed in army camouflage and armed with two guns.Back in April, a man suspected of killing five young people at a Calgary, Alberta, Canada house party posted the title of a MEGADETH song, "Dread And The Fugitive Mind", and album title, "The World Needs A Hero", on his Facebook page in the hours before the stabbings.That was not the first time a MEGADETH song had been linked to an act of violence in Canada. The track "A Tout Le Monde", which originally appeared on the band's 1994 CD "Youthanasia", created controversy in September 2006 because the song was cited in an online post by Dawson College killer Kimveer Gill as one of his favorites before his Montreal shooting spree. He killed one student and wounded nineteen others before committing suicide.
