A first responder, a veteran and a 77-year-old widower are among the victims identified in a stabbing rampage in Saskatchewan that claimed the lives of 10 people and injured 18 others.
A multi-day search for the suspects, 31-year-old Damien Sanderson and his younger brother Myles Sanderson, 30, began on Sunday following multiple reports of stabbings on the James Smith Cree Nation – about 200 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon – and nearby village of Weldon.
“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 to society as a law-abiding citizen.”
Myles Sanderson is accused of slaughtering 10 people in cold blood. Cops say he did it up close, in tight, with a knife, personal.
As the search for Saskatchewan stabbing suspect Myles Sanderson drags into a third day, law enforcement experts say the RCMP appear to be determined to show it has learned from past failures during wide searches, including the Nova Scotia mass shootings in 2020.
Sanderson, 30, is wanted over a series of attacks that left 10 people dead and another 18 wounded in James Smith Cree Nation and nearby Weldon, Sask., on Sunday. He is also under investigation in the death of his brother, Damien, who was also sought over the killings.

Better arrest some legal gun owners.
As the Trudeau government deepens their crackdown on the legal ownership of handguns, evidence continues to emerge showing that Canadian handgun crimes are committed almost exclusively with smuggled U.S. weapons.
In a recent analysis, the National Post’s Bryan Passifiume found that 72 per cent of the crime guns seized by Toronto Police this year had likely origins in the United States.

Officers searching for the mom of two had found the body at 5:07 p.m. Monday — more than 36 hours after Abston, 38, was charged with especially aggravated kidnapping.
Abston — who already served 20 years in prison for a violent kidnapping — had refused to reveal where Fletcher was after being busted Saturday, police said at the time.
The stabbing spree in Saskatchewan, which left 11 dead and 19 injured, is shocking and horrific, but, as more details emerge, the story begins to sound all too familiar.
Early Sunday morning, according to law enforcement, suspects Damien Sanderson, 31, and Myles Sanderson, 30, embarked on a violent rampage across at least 13 separate locations in James Smith Cree Nation and the nearby village of Weldon. As of Monday afternoon, Damien Sanderson was dead, his body found at James Smith Cree Nation and added to the death count. Myles was added to the injured list and the manhunt to capture him continues.

In the dark hours before dawn, there’s no busier place than the Hunts Point produce market in The Bronx, where throngs of chefs, grocers and deli owners jockey each morning to snag the plumpest peaches and leafiest lettuce.
But the bazaar, which handles as many as 30 million pounds of goods per day and is the largest produce outlet in the nation, also provides perfect cover for the importing of fentanyl, America’s deadliest drug, which smugglers sneak into New York amid boxes of fruits and vegetables, according law-enforcement officials.
A 38-year-old man has been arrested in connection to the kidnapping of billionaire heiress Eliza Fletcher, police said early Sunday morning.
