WELDON, SASKATCHEWAN, CANADA — Two fugitives sought in a massive manhunt following a rampage of stabbings that left 10 dead in Saskatchewan have been charged with first-degree murder.
Saskatchewan RCMP say Damien Sanderson, 31, and Myles Sanderson, 30, have also been charged with attempted murder and break and enter."We are using every human, investigational and technological resource we have available to locate and arrest the persons responsible," Rhonda Blackmore, the assistant RCMP commissioner in charge of Saskatchewan, said in a statement Monday.
Blackmore has said they believe some of the attacks were targeted and others were random but declined to provide details in order to preserve the integrity of the investigation. A Crime Stoppers bulletin was also issued in late May for Myles Sanderson, warning he was unlawfully at large. Police said the Nissan Rogue had Saskatchewan licence plate 119 MPI. They also said it’s possible the suspects have switched vehicles.
James Smith Cree Nation was closed to the public amid heavy police presence and some reporters were asked to leave. Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe, in a video posted to social media, said the province has augmented police with extra security, including protections at hospitals where the victims are being treated.“There are no words to adequately describe the pain and loss suffered by the victims’ families — this loss caused by these evil, vicious, senseless attacks.His office has said flags at provincial government buildings will be lowered to half-mast one day for each person killed.
