REGINA — A member of James Smith Cree Nation was wrongfully accused by RCMP of killing an individual during the stabbing attacks last month in the community and in the nearby village of Weldon, Sask.
A day after the stabbings, as police searched for the brothers across the province, RCMP charged them with first-degree murder. The new information was part of a timeline RCMP released that outlined what the brothers were up to in the day days before the attack. Mounties had been on the First Nation earlier that morning looking for Damien Sanderson. Someone had anonymously reported that he had stolen their vehicle a day earlier, and he was wanted on a warrant for a previous assault charge.Two officers found the stolen vehicle and entered a nearby home to see if he was one of the seven people inside. But no one identified themselves by that name.
"The events that were going to unfold the next day were unknown to police at that time," Blackmore said, noting that when police responded to the First Nation on Sept. 3, there was no mention of Myles Sanderson.
