ROSTHERN, SK — RCMP say Myles Sanderson, a suspect in a deadly stabbing rampage northeast of Saskatoon over the weekend, has been taken into custody.

They say he was found near the town of Rosthern, Sask., on the fourth day of a massive manhunt.

Ten people were killed and 18 injured in attacks that took place Sunday on the James Smith Cree Nation and nearby village of Weldon.

Another suspect, Sanderson’s brother, was found dead in a grassy area near one of the crime scenes on Monday.
