Canada police have said that one of the two suspects in Sunday’s mass stabbings in Saskatchewan has been found dead.
The body of Damien Sanderson, 31, was found in the James Smith Cree Nation, home to many of the victims, they said.
The two suspects were brothers and police say Myles Sanderson is still at large and believed to be in the city of Regina.
On Sunday, 10 people were stabbed to death in one of the worst acts of violence in Canada’s recent history.
The attacks – which left another 18 people injured – happened in a remote region of Saskatchewan.
In the city of Regina, where the suspects were last seen, families are in mourning and communities on edge.
Police Assistant Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore told a news conference a “deceased male” was located in the James Smith Cree Nation at 11:30 local time (17:30 GMT). It was later confirmed, at 13:17 on Monday, “that the deceased is Damien Sanderson”.
Ms Blackmore said Damien’s body was found with “visible injuries” and they were “not believed to be self-inflicted at this point”.
Police have said Myles, Damien’s brother, is still at large and they have encouraged people to remain alert.
