Saskatchewan stabbings: Trudeau delivers statement on tragedy as manhunt continues | LIVE
CA, 06 Sep 2022
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to deliver a statement Monday on the stabbings that occurred in Saskatchewan on Sunday that left at least 10 dead and 18 injured in multiple locations in James Smith Cree Nation and Weldon.
Police said they were still searching for two suspects, identified as Damien Sanderson and Myles Sanderson, and asked residents to be vigilant and not approach the two men.
They added that it is believed some of the victims were targeted, while others were attacked at random.
As part of the investigation, Saskatchewan RCMP announced Monday in a release that both men had been charged. Myles faces three counts of first-degree murder, one count of attempted murder, and one count of break and enter. Damien faces one count of first-degree murder, one count of attempted murder, and one count of break and enter into a residence. Warrants have also been issued for both men's arrests and further charges are anticipated.
Regina Police Chief Evan Bray spoke Sunday about the variation of photos that had been released on Sunday and those being circulated on social media, saying it was important during an investigation that consistent photos are used that are "reflective of what we believe the suspects look like."
He said it was "safe to say" there would be several photos available with "different facial hair, those types of things," but at this point, there was no reason to believe the current photos released were not accurate.
A dangerous persons province-wide alert has also been extended to Manitoba and Alberta.
