Canada stabbing: Significant issues remain, as the second suspect dies
The two brothers who were wanted in connection with the violent attacks are now dead, three days after a brutal mass stabbing devastated a rural Indigenous community in Saskatchewan. However, witness accounts suggest that one of the men, Myles Sanderson, was accountable for the deaths of 10 of the victims, according to a law enforcement official.
According to Assistant Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore of the Saskatchewan Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Myles Sanderson passed away on Wednesday after experiencing “medical discomfort” following his detention. The day following the attacks, his brother Damien Sanderson was discovered dead, according to authorities.
According to the authorities, Myles Sanderson had been charged with first-degree murder, attempted murder, and breaking and entering a home.
Following a lengthy manhunt for the two suspects, the deaths of the brothers left victims, loved ones, and law enforcement in the dark about a number of important issues that have not yet been resolved, most notably the reason.
Blackmore responded to a reporter’s inquiry about whether Myles was responsible for the 10 victims’ deaths by saying, “Our witness accounts that we have received have indicated that Myles Sanderson was the person responsible,” though she added that the investigation is still ongoing to determine who was actually involved.
There is now a clearer picture of the violent attacks, although it is still unclear how the accused knew the victims or what exactly happened to cause their deaths. Additionally, since both suspects are dead, investigators fear that we may never learn all of the details.
Ten people were killed and 18 others were hurt in the stabbing spree. According to the authorities, all but one of the victims are members of the James Smith Cree Nation’s Indigenous population. Weldon, a neighboring town, was home to one of those killed.
Leaders of the James Smith Cree Nation proclaimed a state of emergency on Sunday in reaction to the attacks, while police in Saskatchewan and the bordering provinces of Manitoba and Alberta issued emergency advisories asking people to take measures, including sheltering in place in some places.
Even if the search for the suspects is done, the work of the investigators is not over since the massive crime scene spans more than a dozen locations and because loved ones are still looking for answers as they prepare to move past the tragedy.
