Damien Sanderson, one of the suspects in the Saskatchewan mass stabbing in Canada, that left 10 dead and 18 injured, was found dead Monday morning on the James Smith Cree Nation in a heavily grassed area near a house, according to Royal Canadian Mounted Police Assistant Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore.

The Saskatchewan mass stabbing suspect Sanderson had injuries that were not believed to be self-inflicted, Blackmore said.

Myles Sanderson, Damien’s brother, may be injured and seek medical attention, Blackmore added. “Even if he is injured, it does not mean he is not still dangerous.”

Blackmore said Myles has a lengthy criminal record that involves both persons and property crimes and she told the public not to approach him if he is seen.

“His body was located outdoors in a heavily grassed area in proximity to a house that was being examined. We can confirm he has visible injuries. These injuries are not believed to be self-inflicted at this point,” said RCMP Commanding Officer Assistant Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore, adding they were not sure of the exact cause of death yet.

The discovery of the body came on the second day of a massive manhunt for the pair in the Saskatchewan mass stabbing on Sunday, in an Indigenous community and a nearby town, which also left 18 people injured. It was one of the deadliest attacks in the nation’s history. on

Earlier authorities said the suspects were believed to have been travelling in a black Nissan Rogue with Saskatchewan license plate 119 MPI, while noting it was unclear whether they may have changed vehicles. The vehicle was seen in Regina with two people in it.

Myles Sanderson has been charged with first degree murder, attempted murder and breaking and entering into a residence, the RCMP said Monday.

“Sadly over these past years tragedies like these have become all too commonplace,” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday. “We’ll do what we always do in times of difficulty and anguish, we’ll be there for each other, be there for our neighbours, lean on each other, help grieve and help heal.”

Trudeau said he called leaders of the James Smith Cree Nation to offer federal resources. The Prime Minister said flags at federal buildings and at the Peace Tower in Ottawa will be flown at half-staff.

James Smith Cree Nation leaders declared a state of emergency Sunday in response to “numerous murders and assaults” on members of the community, according to a news release. At least one attack also occurred in the neighboring community of Weldon, police said.

“It is certainly a very significant event if not the largest we’ve seen in the last number of years,” RCMP Assistant Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore said.

Some victims apparently were targeted while others may have been attacked randomly, police said.

Authorities urge residents in the area to be vigilant and take precautions, including sheltering in place in some communities.
