Police were investigating whether he may have been killed by his brother and fellow suspect, Myles Sanderson, who detectives said may also have sustained injuries that require medical attention.
Both brothers had been charged with murder, “despite not being arrested”, and “their motives remain unknown”, said the BBC.
Canada’s “largest manhunt extended into its third day” today, with “hundreds of officers” searching for the missing suspect, reported Reuters.
The 30-year-old fugative “had a history of explosive violence”, with “59 convictions for assault, assault with a weapon, uttering threats, assaulting a police officer and robbery”, said CBC News. He had reportedly been wanted since May, after he stopped meeting his parole officer.
The authorities believe he is in province capital Regina, about 210 miles south of where the stabbings took place. The brothers were last seen alive in Regina, but police have also contacted US border officials and issued alerts across Canada’s three vast prairie provinces of Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta.
The combined area is roughly half the size of Europe.
