Saskatchewan Stabbing rampage MANHUNT UPDATE

Suspect in Saskatchewan's Fatal Stabbing Rampage Released by Parole Board Last February

BREAKING UPDATE: September 6th 2022 5pm

The manhunt continues for Myles Sanderson, one of two men suspected of fatally stabbing ten people on the James Smith Cree Nation in mid northern Saskatchewan.

The second suspect in the RCMP manhunt, Damien Sanderson, was found dead Monday, not too far from where many of the stabbing attacks happened.

RCMP said Damien's fatal injuries did not appear to be self inflicted.

Early Tuesday, there was a false sighting of Myles Sanderson on the James Smith Cree Nation.

RCMP tactical teams responded to the sighting in full force before the report was confirmed to be false.

As the manhunt intensifies, eyes are turning to the decision made by the Parole Board of Canada.

Last February, the board decided to release Myles Sanderson, a man with 59 previous convictions for assault, including with weapons and assaulting a police officer.

Reports say Myles Sanderson has a history of substance abuse, violence and non-compliance with court ordered conditions

Nevertheless, the board decided being released into the community would be facilitating his reintegration to society,

"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,"
