Canada mass stabbing suspect found dead, Saskatchewan police continue hunt for brother jOe6M
One of the suspects wanted for the stabbing murders of 10 people across Saskatchewan in Canada has been found dead. Police say the body of 31-year-old Damien Sanderson was found outdoors, near a house that was being examined.
His injuries were not believed to be self-inflicted.
Saskatchewan Royal Canadian Mounted Police commanding officer Rhonda Blackmore said Damien Sanderson was found dead on the James Smith Cree Nation and his brother, Myles Sanderson, who police were still searching for, "may have sustained injuries" and may be seeking medical attention.
Ms Blackmore said Damien Sanderson's body was found outdoors in a grassy area near a house that was being examined.
"We can confirm he has visible injuries, " she said.
"These injuries are not believed to be self-inflicted at this point. "
Asked if Myles Sanderson was suspected of also killing his brother, Blackmore said police hadn't confirmed that.
"We can't say one way or the other if Myles was involved in the death of Damien, " she said.
She also warned that police still considered Myles Sanderson a danger to the public, even if he was injured.
"Myles has a lengthy criminal record involving both persons and property crimes, " she said.
"We consider him armed and dangerous. Do not approach him. "
The stabbing attacks were among the deadliest in Canada's modern history.
Police said some of the victims appeared to have been targeted, while others were apparently random.
A mother of two, a 77-year-old widower, a first responder and a 14-year-old boy were the initial victims identified.
