RCMP say one suspect killed 11 in Saskatchewan stabbing rampage, including brother
Myles and Damien Sanderson had been named as the two suspects in the rampage on the James Smith Cree Nation and in the village of Weldon on Sept. 4.Assistant Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore said Thursday there is evidence Damien Sanderson was involved in planning and preparation of the attacks, although the extent of that involvement is still being investigated.
She said, however, there is no evidence he killed anyone. And the investigation shows he was killed by his brother.“The Saskatchewan RCMP believes it is important to clarify Damien's involvement. “Our investigators continue to corroborate witness statements with physical evidence and exhibits to create an accurate picture of the motives behind these crimes and why some of the victims were targeted.”“The reality is we may never really know exactly why,” Blackmore said.
RCMP had issued arrest warrants for both brothers and were searching for them across the province. The next day, police said they had found Damien Sanderson's body in a grassy area on the First Nation near one of the crime scenes. On Sept. 7, RCMP chased and stopped Myles Sanderson in a stolen vehicle near Rosthern, Sask. A short time later, he went into medical distress and died.
