so the report of 2 persons in the vehicle in Regina are just rumor, there was no 3rd person as Damian was already dead in the cree nation

could've been anyone else helping him or abducted by him

I listened to the recording of the parents pleading with their son to turn himself in. They're suffering now too. They spend more time apologising to his victims actually.

Saskatchewan stabbing suspect Myles Sanderson dead after 4-day manhunt: RCMP | Globalnews.ca

Saskatchewan RCMP confirmed that they captured Myles Sanderson near the town of Rosthern, Sask., after an intense four-day search.

"Myles, my boy, turn yourself in. Please. You can do this," his mother said. "Come back. Turn yourself in. Do the right thing."

Sanderson's father agreed.

"Myles, please, please turn yourself in.We don't want no more hurt. I don't want nobody hurt any more...please, my son. I love you. Turn yourself in. Be safe," he said.''

Can someone describe for me what is a healing lodge?

Also, just an aside, while Canada seems to have much shorter sentences than the U.S., his parole officer was actually able to mandate that he not have "intimate relationships with women without written permission from his parole officer." (Link in OP's post.) That one made me do a double-take!

Sounds like they caught him while he was on the move.

"A PIT maneuver, where officers ram one side of the back of a vehicle to cause it to spin out, was used to stop Sanderson’s vehicle."

What is his or his family's connection to the Cree Reservation? I saw a picture in an article up thread. It was an older woman comforting a younger female. They both had the same last name "Sanderson." The younger female, the article stated, had been very close with one of the murder victims. Did part of the Sandersons live on the reservation maybe? TIA

In one of the media reports iirc it mentioned his grandparents lived on the reserve and he lived with them for a time when younger. So depending on the size of the family he could’ve had many Sanderson uncles, cousins or even 2nds presently living there as well.

Thank you, RCMP!

Well done RCMP!! and the very aware, much-alerted public as someone reported they saw a man carrying a knife. I'm very glad he couldn't get a gun. Made his arrest much safer.

For those interested, here's a video of an ultimate pit maneuver (not this case). It's pretty blood circulating watching the chase, but if you want to get to the actual "crunch", start at about the 10 minute mark.

Healing Lodges in Canada are primarily for lesser sentences.

Indigenous healing lodges

Healing lodges are environments designed specifically for Indigenous offenders. Learn how offenders are placed in a healing lodge. Find out how healing lodges are managed.

So they feel sorry for him due to his deprived childhood and the past wrongs against indigenous Canadians, and therefore give him his 59th chance to change. That's beyond bleeding hearts; that's insane in my opinion.

First Nations or not, some people shouldn't be out in society. He appears to be one of them.

Moo...not all band lands/reserves are created equal. It is the northern ones where most problems are. The problem is no hope, no future. They are in the middle of nowhere..so no work.. eduction ( kinda hard to get quality teachers out there). Social skills are lacking and city life is alien, usually end up homeless. And violence, i was taught ..you roll..under a car ..under a bed a table anything. I live in bc now, the bands are wealthy, it is a different life. Northern manitoba, where i was. 12 people in 3 bedroom house. An outhouse, no bathroom or bath, only cold running water( but it was drinkable) unlike some places where it is still not. One little store where the food choices and cost are sad. No fresh produce. The closest town ..there was division and resentment both ways..so no work..moo

Yes. I agree. Many bands in Ontario are thriving too... running successful businesses and are dry, not allowing alcohol.

They got him!

Sons. Mothers. A veteran. These are the victims killed in Saskatchewan’s stabbing rampage

The people who died in the attacks that left 11 dead and 18 injured are remembered as heroes and helpers.

Heartbreaking to listen to. This may not be a popular opinion, but speaking out like they did (IMO) took a lot of courage. Knowing how much hate is directed at Myles and what he has done…..

I DID notice the mom “correct” herself when she said, “the hurt my boy….my boys have caused”. Obviously there is still a lot to the story we don’t know, but that hit me in the gut. She thinks Damien was involved. <modsnip> that statement from his Mom speaks volumes to me.

I’m so thankful Myles was apprehended without any more loss of life. The RCMP deserve praise for how they communicated with the public (maybe too much but WAY better than no communication) and how they’ve brought this nightmare/murder spree to an end.

Of course, I am dying to know details. Was Myles ever in Regina? What info made them think he had left the city? Did Damien have a criminal record?

The newly reported evidence that Myles was convicted multiple times of domestic violence against his partner and previously attacked his in-laws (and killed his father in law during this rampage) puts an even bigger spotlight on the failures of the justice system. This man consistently showed he was a threat to those around him.

I can’t help but compare and contrast this whole situation with the NS rampage. Some similar underlying themes

That's some skilled driving. Hands up in record time.

I agree, it's heartbreaking to listen to their parents. I caught that bit too with the correction from 'my boy' to 'my boys'.

There's some information in this article Brothers mourn slain sister, a counsellor ‘trying to make a difference’ in James Smith Cree Nation | Globalnews.ca
on Damien as well as Myles' younger life, which would presumably be the same for Damien.

He (Darryl Burns) also said that Damien did not seem to have the same entrenched issues as his brother, though he had lived a hard younger life.

“I had a couple of conversations with Damien. He was so respectful and he was trying, he was really trying.”

A summary of Myles’s younger life, detailed in the Parole Board of Canada decision, describes a life spent bouncing back and forth between the homes of his separated father and mother, physical abuse and domestic violence.
