Exclusive: Ex-partner of Saskatchewan mass murderer shares story of abuse, survival, and hope

After Myles Sanderson went on a deadly stabbing spree in Saskatchewan in September, his long-time partner Vanessa Burns is now speaking out in an exclusive interview with Global News journalist Ashleigh Stewart.

When Sanderson died at age 32, he'd been charged with 125 crimes, according to the 47 cases filed against him in the province's criminal courts. Those include two attempted murders and 18 assaults prior to the September stabbings.

Nathaniel Dove looks at the years of abuse Burns says she suffered at Sanderson's hands, the loved ones she lost in the rampage, and how she's trying to move forward.
