KATHMANDU: Myles Sanderson, the second suspect in a deadly stabbing spree in Canada, has reportedly died, hours after police arrested him. A days-long search for Sanderson had worsened grief and fear in the remote communities where 10 people were killed, and more than a dozen others injured last weekend.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in the province of Saskatchewan said on Wednesday that Myles Sanderson was found near Rosthern, a town about 130km from where the attacks took place.
“There is no longer a risk to public safety … The Saskatchewan RCMP would like to thank the public for their diligence in providing pertinent information about potential sightings of Myles Sanderson,” the force said in a brief statement.
Global News, citing multiple law enforcement sources, said Sanderson surrendered to police and was alive when he was taken away in an ambulance after a highway pursuit in which police rammed his vehicle off the road. He died shortly afterward of injuries authorities believe were self-inflicted, Global said.
Devin Heroux, a national reporter with public service broadcaster CBC, tweeted that Sanderson had been confirmed dead and that the police were expected to hold a press conference at 7:30 pm local time.
Sanderson faced three counts of first-degree murder, among other charges, in relation to the fatal attacks that devastated the Indigenous community of James Smith Cree Nation and the nearby village of Weldon.
The rampage on Sunday marked one of the deadliest incidents of violence in Canada’s history, spurring anguish in the province of Saskatchewan and across the country.
Earlier on Wednesday, authorities released the names of the 10 people killed in the attacks.
