Second suspect in Canada mass stabbing arrested

A second suspect in the Canada mass stabbing that killed 10 people has been taken into custody.

Myles Sanderson, 30, was arrested in Rosthern in the indigenous community of Saskatchewan on Wednesday afternoon, police said.

‘There is no longer a risk to public safety relating to this investigation,’ cops announced.

Sanderson’s arrest comes two days after his brother, Damien Sanderson, 31, was found dead on the James Smith Cree nation. Damien’s injuries did not appear to be self-inflicted, cops said.

The brothers are also suspected of injuring 18 people across 13 crime scenes in Saskatchewan, which does not experience much violent crime.

The first stabbing was reported around 5.40am on Sunday and the stabbings occurred in the town of Weldon and James Smith Cree Nation, which is roughly 200 mules north of the capital of Regina.

Less than two hours later, police had obtained the suspects’ names.

Myles was released after serving a four-year sentence for assault and robbery just months before the massacre.
