One of the two accused RCMP are seeking in connection with a string of fatal stabbings in Saskatchewan on Sunday has been found dead, police confirmed Monday.

Damien Sanderson, 31, was found dead with wounds that did not appear to be self-inflicted, said Rhonda Blackmore, commanding officer of the Saskatchewan RCMP.

Myles Sanderson, 30, is still at large and is wanted. The RCMP also confirmed Monday at the media briefing that the two are brothers.

Ten people died in the attacks Sunday in various locations in the province, including James Smith Cree Nation. The injury toll has risen to 18.

1. This story reminds me of the Canadian manhunt 3 years ago

for the two young men who killed three people in British Columbia. Their motives are unknown as they ended with suicide. There seemed something oddly ritualistic about it.

2. Damien's dead

From your link, "Rhonda Blackmore, commanding officer of the Saskatchewan RCMP, said that Damien Sanderson, 31, was found dead with wounds that did not appear to be self-inflicted.' It didn't say where he was found.

Also, the article said that the police have been looking for Myles Sanderson since May, when he stopped reporting to the Canadian equivalent of a PO.

3. I read elsewhere

that he was found in James Smith Cree Nation, near one of the other attack locations.

(Can't say where--have read many articles on this today.)
