Myles Sanderson, the suspect in a deadly stabbing rampage in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan, has died from self-inflicted injuries, a source told The Associated Press on Wednesday evening.
Saskatchewan Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) had announced earlier that Sanderson was taken into custody after responding to a report of a man armed with a knife and driving a stolen car near Wakaw, northeast of Saskatoon.
An official familiar with the matter said officers rammed Sanderson’s vehicle off the road. The official said the fugitive’s injuries were self-inflicted, but did not have further details on when the injuries were inflicted or when he died.
Sanderson was wanted on charges related to Sunday’s fatal stabbings in which 10 people died and 18 others were wounded.
An emergency alert went out on Wednesday saying an individual possibly related to the stabbings was seen driving in the Wakaw area in a stolen 2008 white Chevy Avalanche. RCMP apprehended the suspect near Rosthern, according to Global News.
Myles Sanderson’s brother, Damien Sanderson, was found dead on Monday.
