Damien Sanderson one of the two brothers who are suspected of carrying out a widespread stabbing attack in a rural Canadian community has been found dead, according to police, while the other sibling is still at large.
Following a stabbing spree that left a Saskatchewan indigenous hamlet in ruins on Sunday, Damien and Myles Sanderson were charged with killing 10 people and injuring 19.
Rhonda Blackmore, the commanding officer of the Saskatchewan Royal Canadian Mounted Police, announced at a news conference that 31-year-old Damien Sanderson had been discovered dead on the James Smith Cree Nation.
She went on to say that his 30-year-old brother, Myles Sanderson, “may have incurred injuries” and “may be seeking medical attention.”
The wounds Damien Sanderson sustained are not thought to have been self-inflicted.
According to the police, while some of the victims looked to have been targeted, others were seemingly picked at random.
The first victims recognised were a mother of two, a widower aged 77, a first responder, and a youngster aged 14 years old.
The James Smith Cree Nation was the target of 29 separate attacks on Sunday afternoon, with the twins being the main suspects.
Since Myles Sanderson stopped attending his parole officer’s required court visits in May, authorities have been looking for him.
Evan Bray, the chief of police in Regina, stated that he vanished while on parole serving a five-year term for assault, robbery, damage, and making threats.
He was accused of breaking and entering as well as three counts of first-degree murder, one count of attempted murder, and one count of attempted murder.
One count of first-degree murder, one count of an attempted murder, and one count of breaking and entering were all brought against Damien Sanderson.
According to police, someone was sheltering the brothers to keep them from being apprehended.
‘We know. We are confident that someone out there knows the whereabouts of these two and has information that would be valuable to the police,’ said Bray.
‘I urge you to get in touch with your local police service.’
The males are armed and dangerous, according to the police.
The Nissan Rogue SUV, which was seen 200 miles south of the native reserve, was used by the brothers to flee.
According to SkyNews Canada, a lady wrote on Facebook, “This is my brothers’ truck that they grabbed when they raided our home this morning in James Smith Cree Nation.”
‘We (can’t) care less about the vehicle but let these monsters be caught.’
