''WINNIPEG - Manitoba RCMP say three people found dead in the wreckage of a house fire were the wife and children of a man who is a suspect in their deaths.

The bodies of a 32-year-old woman, a six-year-old girl and a three-year-old boy were found Sunday in a home in Portage la Prairie, west of Winnipeg.

RCMP and Winnipeg police are searching for 50-year-old Trevis Mcleod, who is charged with three counts of second-degree murder and arson.



Mounties say there have been a handful of sightings in Winnipeg, the latest in the city’s downtown on Tuesday afternoon.

Investigators say Mcleod is considered to be dangerous and shouldn’t be approached.

They add he may still be in Winnipeg without a vehicle, but there is a possibility he may return to the Portage la Prairie area.''

I've been following this. Hope he's caught soon but I think he'll probably go out by suicide by cop or by himself.

Just my opinion but any child murders should be automatically first degree.

This guy had a long history of domestic violence. "vicious" according to his former partner who had a protection order against him:

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/portage-la-prairie-homicide-trevis-mcleod-partner-1.6420827


"McLeod's former partner told CBC she had a protection order against him, for her and one of her children.

She no longer lives in Manitoba. CBC is not naming the woman because she is a victim of domestic violence.

The two met in Portage la Prairie when they were 17 years old. At the time, McLeod lived with his family in Oakville, Man., a short drive from Portage la Prairie.

She told CBC McLeod had violent outbursts that were often triggered by alcohol.

"[It] was almost like he was allergic.… When he would drink alcohol, you saw the real side of him," she said.

"Everybody would fear him, even his own family.… His father, his mother, everybody would fear Trevis once he started drinking."

@dotr , do you know why he's charged with 2nd degree murder instead of 1st? I know laws in Canada are different in some respects.

@dotr , do you know why he's charged with 2nd degree murder instead of 1st? I know laws in Canada are different in some respects.

In Canada, first is planned in advance and with intention (not sure how long in advance) second is not planned (heat of the moment?) but the murder is with intention. So maybe what they have so far is he didn't plan on the murder in advance but when he decided in that moment he intentionally lit the house on fire. Speculation, imo
