A day after the knife attacks that killed 10 people in rural Canada, police found one of the two suspected brothers dead. “He had visible injuries that we currently do not believe he inflicted on himself,” principal investigator Rhonda Blackmore said Monday (local time) in Regina, the provincial capital of Saskatchewan. The 31-year-old’s body was found in tall grass on the James Smith Cree Nation Indian Reservation.
The second suspect, his brother who is a year younger, has not yet been arrested, according to police. Investigators believe he is injured and may seek medical attention. They would neither confirm nor rule out that he was involved in the other’s death.
Police suspect the two brothers are responsible for the bloody crimes at two locations in Saskatchewan – the James Smith Cree Nation reservation and the village of Weldon. Ten victims died and 18 were injured. The search for the second suspect is also increasing in Regina, which is about 300 kilometers to the south.
