Second Suspect in Canada Stabbings Dies of Apparent Self-Inflicted Wounds After Arrest

HeadlineSep 08, 2022

In Canada, the second suspect in a mass stabbing in Saskatchewan has died, reportedly of self-inflicted wounds shortly after his arrest. Myles Sanderson and his brother Damien were wanted in connection with the killing of 10 people and the wounding of 18 others on Sunday — all but one of them members of the James Smith Cree Nation. Damien Sanderson was found dead the day after the attacks, according to the police. Many questions remain about the case, such as the brothers’ motivation for the mass killing and how Myles Sanderson was able to kill himself while in police custody.
