10 dead, 18 injured in mass stabbing in Saskatchewan, Canada
Myles Sanderson, a suspect in the stabbing that killed 10 and injured 18 people over the weekend in rural Canada, has been arrested.
Officials say the 30-year-old was captured around 3:30 p.m. CST Wednesday near the town of Rosthern, Saskatchewan.
“There is no longer any risk to public safety related to this investigation,” Saskatchewan RCMP said.
Earlier, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police released the names of the 10 people who died in the Saskatchewan stabbings on Sunday, as the manhunt for Myles Sanderson enters its fourth day.
The people who died were between the ages of 23 and 78 and included: Thomas Burns, Carol Burns, Gregory Burns, Lydia Gloria Burns, Bonnie Burns, Earl Burns, Lana Head, Christian Head and Robert Sanderson of the James Smith Cree Nation and Wesley Petterson from Weldon.
Police said Tuesday they no longer believe the wanted suspect is in the provincial capital, Regina.
“We received information today that led us to believe that he may no longer be in this community,” said Regina Police Chief Evan Bray.
A day earlier, Damien Sanderson, 31, the second suspect and Myles’ brother, was found dead from wounds that did not appear to be self-inflicted, police said.
His body was recovered in a heavily grassed area of the James Smith Cree Nation near a house police were examining.
The two men were named by police in connection with the violence that left 10 people dead and 18 others injured in a spate of stabbings at 13 locations in the province of Saskatchewan, according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).
