Re: Canada MASS Stabbings: Second Suspect Died After Arrest
Canadian Mass Stabbing Second Suspect DEAD After Arrest
Second Saskatchewan suspect dead from self-inflected wounds after 10 killed in one of Canada’s worst attacks
BBC News 8 SEP 2022
Myles Sanderson, a suspect in the weekend stabbing spree that killed 10 and wounded 19 people across a First Nations community in rural Canada, died from self-inflicted inflected wounds after being arrested on Wednesday, according to officials.An unnamed Canadian official told The Associated Press that Mr Sanderson died after police rammed his car off the road.
The suspect was taken away alive in an ambulance before later succombing to his injuries, Global News reports, citing multiple unnamed law enforcement sources.
The 32-year-old was apprehended around 3.30pm CST on Wednesday near the town of Rosthern, Saskatchewan, according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).
“The Saskatchewan RCMP would like to thank the public for their dillegence in providing pertinent information about potential sightings of Myles Sanderson,” the police said in a statement.
The suspect was thought to be seen earlier in the day in the Wakaw and Prince Albert areas, with the individual described as driving a white Chevrolet and carrying a knife, according to the Saskatchewan RCMP, who later cancelled an emergency alert related to the spotting.
Unofficial video obtained by the CBC appears to show multiple armed officers in bulletproof vests surrounding a white Chevy truck pulled onto the side of a road.
The arrest brings to a close the massive, four-day manhunt for Sanderson and his brother Damien, who was found dead on Monday from wounds that did not appear to be self-inflicted, police said.
Saskatoon Tribal Council chief Mark Arcand, who lost his sister and nephew in the killings, said the arrests mean the community can begin to recover from its trauma.
"Now people can start to feel safe again but also now is the time for healing to begin," he said in a statement.
“We are broken, but we’re not defeated,” he added at a press conference on Wednesday.
Saskatchewan premier Scott Moe thanked police for their efforts.
“To the men and women in uniform who have worked day and night to track down and arrest this dangerous criminal, thank you,” he said on Wednesday in a statement. “We owe you all a great debt of gratitude.”
