Stabbing suspect DEAD after four-day manhunt

One of the men suspected of carrying out a deadly stabbing attack in Saskatchewan has died shortly after being taken into custody.

Reports suggest 32-year-old Myles Sanderson died of self-inflicted wounds after his car was rammed off the road by police.

“Myles Sanderson was located and taken into police custody near Rosthern, SK at approximately 3:30 p.m. today,”  the province of Saskatchewan said in an emergency alert.

“There is no longer a risk to public safety relating to this investigation.”

Sanderson had already been charged with first-degree murder, attempted murder and breaking and entering.

The person was spotted in a 2008 white Chevrolet Avalanche, police earlier reported.

The fatal stabbings of 10 people rocked Canada and it’s been revealed Sanderson has a bad track record.

Canada’s parole board will review its decision to release Myles Sanderson back in Feb this year.

Parole documents show he has 59 prior convictions as well as a history of violence.

The Public Safety Minister says he is extremely concerned by what occurred here, letting a man who was serving a four-year sentence back on the streets.

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

The other suspect, his 31-year-old brother Damien Sanderson, was found dead by police on Monday at the James Smith Cree Nation, a close-knit indigenous community in central Saskatchewan.
