Sources Say Canada Stabbing Spree Suspect Made Final ‘Goodbye’ Trip After Rampage

Multiple sources close to the ongoing manhunt for Myles Sanderson, the second suspect in the stabbing rampage that killed 11 people in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan on Sunday, say he made a final trip to the city of Regina with the intention of seeing friends and family members there in the hours after the horrific attacks.

According to one of the sources source involved in the investigation into the horrific slayings in James Smith Cree Nation and the nearby town of Weldon, Saskatchewan, Myles Sanderson made a three-hour trip across the wide-open Canadian prairie—in broad daylight, on one of the busiest highway travel days of the year—“to see [those Regina connections] for the last time.”

The sources told The Daily Beast that they suspect Myles has since died by suicide. “If Myles Sanderson was alive and being harbored somewhere by someone, we’d know about it by now,” one of the sources told The Daily Beast.

His sighting in Regina was reported three days ago, at around 11:45 a.m. Sunday, or approximately six hours after the first 911 calls began pouring into local law enforcement dispatchers near James Smith Cree Nation.

59 convictions in 20 years, the system fails in more ways than one

Sometimes in these scenarios the police will put out I don't want to say fake but not completely accurate reports. The killers see this or hear this and think they have no clue. It's the gillam boys all over again.

You would be shocked at how many more people have similar records.

That's 59 too many a part of me wants to see him sent straight to prison since he already violated parole but I know it doesn't work that way (or does it?)

They probably do, but once those Gillam boys were up north in the bush, they were completely off the grid.

Canada fugitive 'dies of self-inflicted wounds'- SOURCE,REUTERS
The suspect in a stabbing that left 10 dead and 18 others injured has died of self-inflicted wounds as he was captured by police, report local media.

Police said earlier that Myles Sanderson, 32, was taken into custody in the province of Saskatchewan on Wednesday afternoon.

Footage from the scene showed a white SUV run off the road and surrounded by police cruisers near Rosthern town.

Ten victims remain in hospital, three of them in a critical condition.

News of his capture came soon after an alert was sent to Canadian mobile phone users warning people near the town of Wakaw to "seek immediate shelter/shelter in place" because a man armed with a knife had been seen driving in the area. Rosthern is 44km (27 miles) west of Wakaw.

An unnamed official told the Associated Press that during a car chase, officers knocked Sanderson's vehicle off the road. The source did not tell the news agency when or how the fugitive's injuries were inflicted, or when he died.

Buckingham Palace says Queen Elizabeth II is under medical supervision as doctors are "concerned for Her Majesty's health."

The announcement comes a day after the 96-year-old monarch cancelled a meeting of her Privy Council and was told to rest. The palace says the queen is "comfortable" and remains at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, where she has spent the summer.

Prince Charles, the heir to the throne, and his wife, Camilla, are with the Queen after travelling to Balmoral Castle, the Queen's summer vacation home, to be with her. Prince William, Charles's eldest son, is also there, as is Prince Andrew.

Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, will also travel to Scotland to be with Queen Elizabeth, a spokesperson for the couple said on Thursday.

Saw this.  Thought this was crazy when the salary cap is just over $200M.  Players losing out on so much cash when you consider revenue from tickets, advertising, and sponsors.

The fact that the Super Bowl trophy is presented to the owner first each year tells you where the players rank on the hierarchy there. And that TV deal per team   For one year is 42% of the players’ concussion settlement total amount. League has never cared about its players.

600 million 2021. not exactly pocket change.

should be enough to allow citizens of Canada to watch the news, on the public broadcaster, which is paid for  by us, and which news is important, free of charge.

There is no reasonable explanation for this.

and, if you have used it, it is in cjob level as far as quantity of ads  goes. close to unuseable.

Yeah, but $600M only goes so far when your mandate is to deliver news and entertainment all parts of Canada. They don't get to pick and choose what is "profitable". 

 

But, I do agree that we should be able to watch/listen to the news via radio/TV (OTA)/internet without cost.

My respect for the CBC went down considerably, watching them allow the climate change denier Rex Murphy continue as host of the national call in show. long after he should have been given the hook. embarrasing.

I also frequently used  to hear "balanced" interviews about it, with guests who thought climate change was a nothing. 

abysmal.
