Canadian police charged with murder on Monday (5) two men, who are still at large, on suspicion of killing 10 people and injuring at least 18 in an indigenous community on Sunday (4), in a country where mass violence are rare.
Police began searching for Damien Sanderson, 31, and Myles Sanderson, 30, after they allegedly stabbed people in 13 different areas of an indigenous community and the surrounding province on Sunday.
The attack is among the most mass murders in modern Canadian history. A note from indigenous leaders suggests the killings may be drug-related. Police said some of the accused to be specific targets, while others appear to be random.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) charged each of the men with first-degree murder, attempted murder and trespass. In a statement, the RCMP said it hoped to apply more investigation to the ongoing investigation.
“To the people of Saskatchewan and beyond — please know that we are using everything investigative and technological to locate the human resource and arrest the people responsible for this tragedy and to ensure their safety,” said RCMP Commander Rhonda Blackmore . Hundreds of police and officials are dedicated to the investigation, she said.
“I am shocked and devastated by today’s horrific attacks,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a statement. “As a Canadian, we cry with all the saboteurs for this violence and with the people of Chetchewan.”
“This is the destruction that invaders face when illegal drugs,” said the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations. The group represents 74 First Nations in Saskatchewan.
One mother of children among 10 people killed, two local media reported, citing the woman’s ex-partner.
In May, Myles Sanderson was listed as a fugitive by the Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers, a program that encourages the public to cooperate with the police. There are no further details on why he was wanted.
5% of Canada’s population of less than 38 million suffers from higher levels of poverty, unemployment and a lower life expectancy than other Canadians.
The first and first hours of robbery were recorded at 8:40 am and were recorded within three hours of the police alerting to an alert of dangerous people across the province. In the afternoon, similar warnings were also issued in the vicinity of Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba.
