One is dead now allegedly killed by his brother...

WELDON, Sask. - RCMP say D.S., one of two suspects in a deadly stabbing rampage in Saskatchewan, has been found dead.

The body of the 31-year-old was discovered outdoors in a grassy area on the James Smith Cree Nation.Police say he had visible injuries that were not self-inflicted.

His brother, 30-year-old M. S., is the second suspect wanted in the stabbings.

Police say he is still at large, may be injured and could be in Regina.

Mounties say 10 others were killed and 18 others were injured in the stabbings at various locations on the First Nation and in the nearby village of Weldon on Sunday.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 5, 2022.

A mother of two, Lana Head, a 77-year-old widower, Wes Petterson and a first responder were the initial victims identified in a stabbing spree in Canada that killed 10 people and wounded at least 18 others.

Lana Head is the former partner of Michael Brett Burns, and the mother of their two daughters.

Burns told that Head and her male partner died of their wounds on the James Smith Cree Nation on Sunday.

“It’s sick how jail time, drugs and alcohol can destroy many lives,” Burns said. “I’m hurt for all this loss.”

“When I found out my friend was killed, I just hit the ground,” said Ruby Works, a neighbour of Wes Petterson, 77.

Works said Peterson liked to do some gardening, planting cucumbers and tomatoes, and liked to show off his two cats.

“He was proud of making his blueberry jelly.”

She said she had known Peterson since she was a little girl. “He was the sweetest old man. He was the kindest guy”.

Works added that Peterson’s grandson lived with him, and that his grandson had hid in the basement during the attack and called emergency services.

If we ban the guns, people stop dying. Clearly this is still a gun problem, they just forgot to bring them.

The suspect wanted for a mass killing in Saskatchewan on the weekend committed a similar stabbing attack seven years ago, according to court documents.

Myles Sanderson was accused in 2015 of trying to kill Earl Burns by “repeatedly stabbing with a knife.” Sanderson also attacked Joyce Burns, wounding her, his court file indicates.

A hefty criminal file in the Saskatchewan courts names an Earl and Joyce as Sanderson’s in-laws. Earl Burns was killed at the James Smith Cree Nation on Sunday, while Joyce Burns is among the injured, according to a source.

Nine others died and 17 were injured in the community, and in nearby Medford. The body of Sanderson’s brother Damien, who was also wanted for one of the killings, was found Monday.

Police are still searching for Sanderson, 32, after a reported sighting Tuesday at James Smith Cree Nation turned out to be false. Police believe the fugitive may be injured and was last spotted in Regina.

Court documents on the 59 criminal convictions that Sanderson accumulated in just over a decade chronicle the cycle of violence, arrests and re-offending that preceded last weekend’s tragedy.

Sanderson had been repeatedly accused of threatening to kill members of the James Smith Cree Nation and had stabbed two with a cheese knife in April 2018, the court file indicates.

The documents, compiled from courts in Regina, Prince Albert and Melfort, also contain court papers that describe an incident that foreshadows Sunday’s killing spree.

On January 26, 2015, Sanderson was charged in Prince Albert, Sask., with attempted murder, aggravated assault and weapons possession following the knife attack on his in-laws.

He was also charged with breach of probation for failing to comply with a judge’s order in 2014 that not consume alcohol and “keep the peace and be of good behaviour,” his court file shows.

Ultimately, he pleaded guilty to aggravated assault, assault and threatening to kill Earl Burns. He was sentenced on Oct. 28, 2015, to two years, less a day and fined.

Sanderson also has a long history of domestic abuse. He has been charged with assaulting his partner, Vanessa Burns, at least five times since 2011, according to the court file.

In November 2011, when he was 21, Sanderson was charged with assaulting Burns and resisting arrest. However, the charge was later withdrawn and he was released on probation for six months.

Sanderson assaulted Burns again a year later when he was sentenced to two months in custody and 18 months probation.

He assaulted her again in January 2013 and was sentenced to two months imprisonment in a provincial correctional centre. As part of his probation conditions, he was ordered not to contact Burns. He was later charged with breaching those conditions.

Sanderson was also charged with assaulting Burns in 2015 and 2018.

Saskatchewan Coroner’s Service and RCMP have identified those killed in the Sept. 4 attack as: Thomas Burns, 23; Carol Burns, 46; Gregory Burns, 28; Lydia Gloria Burns, 61; Bonnie Burns, 48; Earl Burns, 66; Lana Head, 49; Christian Head, 54; Robert Sanderson, 49; and Wesley Petterson, 78.

“The identities of injured persons will not be released,” the Coroner Service and RCMP said in a statement. “We can confirm one young teen was injured and the remaining injured are all adults.”

Despite his long record of crime and violence spanning his adult life, Sanderson was not considered an undue risk to society by the Parole Board of Canada as recently as February.

“To your benefit, you do seem to have maintained sobriety, obtained employment, engaged a therapist, were engaged in cultural ceremonies, had obtained a home for your family, and appeared to have been making good progress on reintegration,” the Board wrote.

“It is the Board’s opinion that you will not present an undue risk to society if released on statutory release and that your release will contribute to the protection of society by facilitating your reintegration into society as a law-abiding citizen,” the decision read.

Upon his release, Sanderson was instructed to refrain from alcohol and drugs, follow a treatment plan, avoid his victims and their families, and have no contact with his children, as well as an individual identified only by the initials V.B

By May, however, Sanderson was listed by the Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers as “unlawfully at large,” and last seen in Saskatoon, about 200 kilometres southwest of the scene of Sunday’s mass killings.

The suspect in a stabbing in Canada that left 10 dead and 18 others injured has died after he was captured by police, officials say.

Police said Myles Sanderson, 32, was taken into custody on a highway in the province of Saskatchewan on Wednesday afternoon after a high-speed chase.

Footage from the scene showed a white SUV run off the road and surrounded by police cruisers near Rosthern town.

Ten victims remain in hospital, three of them in a critical condition.

"This evening our province is breathing a collective sigh of relief," Assistant Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore told a news conference on Wednesday night.

She said police had received a report earlier in the day of Sanderson stealing a vehicle from outside a property. The householder was not injured during the theft.

Police gave pursuit as Sanderson fled at speeds of 150km/h (93mph). They forced his vehicle into a ditch and officers found a knife in the SUV as they arrested him, said the police chief. He was taken into custody at around 15:30 local time (21:30 GMT).

Shortly after his arrest, Sanderson went into "medical distress" and was taken to a hospital in Saskatoon, where he was pronounced dead, she added. She did not provide further details, saying his cause of death would be for a post-mortem examination to determine.

An unnamed official earlier told local media that Sanderson died of self-inflicted injuries.

Unverified social media footage from the scene had shown a suspect being arrested by police on the side of a rural highway.

News of Sanderson's capture came soon after an alert was sent to Canadian mobile phone users warning people near the town of Wakaw to "seek immediate shelter/shelter in place" because a man armed with a knife had been seen driving a stolen white Chevrolet Avalanche in the area.

CBC News reports that Sanderson had broken into a woman's rural property at around 14:00 local time on Wednesday.

The woman spotted Sanderson walking up to her front door, so she locked it and took refuge in the bathroom in her bedroom, her son told the Canadian broadcaster.

Sanderson kicked down the front door and went into the bedroom, telling the woman he would not hurt her and asking her to come with him, but she refused, according to her son.

The suspect took the keys to the woman's vehicle, along with her mobile phone, water and a soda and cigarettes, the son said. The woman called RCMP through a landline.

Sanderson had been facing charges of first-degree murder, attempted murder and breaking and entering.

His brother, Damien Sanderson, was also accused of playing a role in the attacks on Sunday in the remote area. On Monday, police found his body and are now investigating whether his brother killed him during the manhunt.

Earlier on Wednesday, the parents of the brothers had appealed for their surviving son to turn himself in.

"I want to apologise for my son, my sons," their mother said in an interview.

Police have not yet revealed any suspected motive for the knife rampage, which encompassed 13 separate crime scenes. Most of those killed - and the Sanderson brothers - were from the James Smith Cree Nation, an indigenous community.

Canada's parole board said on Tuesday that it would review why Myles Sanderson was released early from prison while serving a four-year sentence for several violent crimes.

In February, the board said he would "not present an undue risk" and that his release would "contribute to the protection of society" by facilitating his rehabilitation.

"I want to apologise for my son, my sons," their mother said in an interview.

Aww poor mama . I really feel for her. I read the book written by the mother of one of the Columbine shooters and it's just terrible, when you not only have to deal with the self-destruction of your beloved son, but also the grief and the rage that society piles up on you.
