REGINA — Saskatchewan RCMP say they have located a vehicle they believe was used by a suspect in a mass stabbing.
Assistant Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore says in a video statement that a witness reported Thursday to police that they may have seen Myles Sanderson in a rural area north of Saskatoon on Sunday evening.
Blackmore says a search of the area has now located the black Nissan Rogue, with a matching licence plate, that police believe Sanderson was initially travelling in after the attack.
Sanderson died Wednesday, ending a four-day manhunt after stabbings that left 10 people dead and 18 injured on the James Smith Cree Nation and in a nearby community.
RCMP flooded the area near the communities of Wakaw and Crystal Springs after reports a truck was stolen and the man had a knife.
Police say Sanderson went into medical distress and died shortly after he was taken into custody.
