Suspect in Canada stabbing spree has died from self-inflicted wounds

1. Canada police: we may never know what motivated suspect Myles Sanderson.

A suspect in a weekend stabbing spree in Canada who was arrested by police on Wednesday has died as a result of self-inflicted injuries, Canada's Global News reported on Wednesday, citing multiple police sources.

Hours earlier, Canadian police said that the final suspect of the two accused in the fatal stabbings in Saskatchewan province had been located and taken into custody.

Myles Sanderson, 30, was taken into custody near the town of Rosthern, Saskatchewan, about 100 km (62 miles) southwest of the area where the killings occurred on Sunday, according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

2. The suspect sought by Canadian police over Sunday's mass stabbing went into 'medical distress' shortly after his arrest and was pronounced dead at hospital, a Royal Canadian Mounted Police official says.

She declined to address questions about whether he might have consumed a drug or other substance that killed him, saying the manner and cause of his death would be determined by an autopsy.

His older brother and accused accomplice, Damien Sanderson, 31, was found slain on Monday in a grassy area of the James Smith Cree Nation. Police were investigating whether the younger sibling might have killed his brother, and that he may have sustained an injury requiring medical attention.

Blackmore said an emergency-911 caller who reported spotting Myles Sanderson before his arrest indicated he appeared to have had a visible injury.

In addition to the 10 victims killed on Sunday, 18 others were wounded in the rampage, which unnerved a country where instances of mass murder are rare. Police said some of the victims appeared to have been targeted, while others were apparently random.

Authorities have offered no motive for the attacks, which occurred on the James Smith Cree Nation reserve, home to some 3,400 people, and the nearby village of Weldon, about 320 km (200 miles) north of the provincial capital of Regina.

With Myles Sanderson's death, “We may never have an understanding of that motivation,” Blackmore said.
