Canada murders: Manhunt for two people after 10 stabbed to death

Police are searching the province of Saskatchewan for two suspects following the deadly stabbing of 10 people.

Damien Sanderson, 31, and Myles Sanderson, 30, are suspected of the fatal stabbing of 10 people in an Indigenous community and a nearby town in one of the worst mass killings in the country’s history. The pair are also suspected of injuring 15 people in the series of knife attacks that led the James Smith Cree Nation to declare a state of emergency and left residents terrified in the nearby village of Weldon.

“No-one in this town is ever going to sleep again. They’re going to be terrified to open their door,” said Weldon resident Ruby Works, who was close to one of the victims. Police said a vehicle reportedly carrying the two suspects had been spotted in Regina, 208 miles south of the communities where the stabbings occurred.

Regina police chief Evan Bray said on Sunday night they still believe the suspects are in Regina. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said in a message on Twitter: “If in the Regina area, take precautions & consider sheltering in place. Do not leave a secure location. DO NOT APPROACH suspicious persons. Do not pick up hitch hikers. Report suspicious persons, emergencies or info to 9-1-1. Do not disclose police locations.”

Rhonda Blackmore, the assistant commissioner of the RCMP in Saskatchewan, said: “It is horrific what has occurred in our province today,” adding there were 13 crime scenes where either deceased or injured people were found. Ms Blackmore said some of the victims appear to have been targeted by the suspects, but others appear to have been attacked at random.
