WELDON, SASKATCHEWAN, CANADA — One of two brothers sought following a stabbing rampage in Saskatchewan was found dead in a grassy field not far from where 10 others lost their lives and many more were injured on the weekend.
Meanwhile, police said the other brother who has a violent criminal record and considered dangerous, remained on the loose, but he may be injured.
Rhonda Blackmore, the assistant RCMP commissioner in charge of Saskatchewan, told reporters Damien Sanderson's body was found in an area not far from one of the crime scenes.Blackmore said Myles Sanderson has a lengthy criminal record for property crimes and violence against people. He has been charged with multiple counts of first-degree murder, attempted murder and break and enter in the stabbings.
“Keep in mind, this is eyewitness information that provided details on seeing the car confirming the plate.” Eleanore Sunchild, a prominent Saskatchewan lawyer, whose daughters have connections to the reserve, said she’s been talking with community members who are shocked, horrified and deep in grief. She said there is a feeling of helplessness.Many victims were older people who held knowledge of history and tradition and Sunchild said when an elder dies, “a library dies."
Police have not said why they believe the remaining fugitive is injured. But Doreen Lees, an 89-year-old resident from Weldon, said she and her daughter thought they saw one of the suspects when a car came barrelling down her street early Sunday.
