CANADA: Officials with the Royal Canadian Mountain Police confirmed early Monday evening that one of two suspects in the Sunday stabbing spree that left 10 dead and at least 18 wounded in Saskatchewan has been found dead on the James Smith Cree Nation.
Regina Police Chief Evan Bray did confirm that Myles Sanderson and 31-year-old Damien Sanderson, who was found dead in an apparent homicide earlier in the day, are brothers, The Associated Press reported.
The pair are suspected of carrying out one of the deadliest attacks in Canada’s history on Sunday, which left 10 dead and 18 wounded on the James Smith Cree Nation and in the town of Weldon. Neither of those tallies include the Sanderson brothers.
Authorities have said some of the victims in the stabbing spree were targeted and others appeared to have been chosen at random. While no official motive has been released, senior Indigenous leaders suggested to the AP that drugs were somehow involved.
