One of the brothers believed to have committed the murder of ten people and injured 18 others in various parts of Canada has been found dead, with wounds that do not appear to have been self-inflicted, sources have reported local police quoted by Europa Press.
Canadian police found the body of Damien Sanderson, 31, on Sunday afternoon in a green space in the James Smith Cree Nation community in central Saskatchewan. The other suspect, Myles Sanderson, 30, remains at large, although authorities have issued a warning that he can seek medical attention at any time – as he also suffered injuries.
“Even if he’s injured, that doesn’t mean he’s not dangerous,” said Deputy Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore, Sastachewan Police Commander. Regina City Police Chief Evan Bray said the latest information indicates Myles Sanderson is still in town.
On Monday evening, Bobby Cameron, the leader of the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations, which represents Saskatchewan’s 74 First Nations, asked residents to report any information about the attacks. “At this point, someone must know something,” he said in a statement, in which he ended with a direct request to the fleeing suspect: “We implore you to surrender for the sake of all the families.”
According to him, in Regina, the capital of the province where the suspects were last seen alive, communities live in a climate of permanent fear.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also commented on the result: “Unfortunately, in recent years, tragedies like these have become all too common. We will do what we always do in times of hardship and distress – we will be there for each other. We will be there for our neighbors. We will support each other. And we will help those in need through this difficult time. Trudeau also revealed that he had reached out to leaders of James Smith’s Cree Nation and offered federal resources.
Police initially believed the brothers had fled the community en route to Regina, a town over 300 kilometers away, when two people matching the brothers’ description were seen in a black Nissan Rogue – the model of the vehicle that the two brothers stole at the time. of escape.
However, the discovery of Damien’s remains proved that he never left the James Smith Cree Nation, changing the trajectory of the investigation. Myles may be closer than we thought.
