The half-brother of mass murderer Myles Sanderson has been arrested near James Smith Cree Nation after seriously assaulting a female and “uttering threats” directed at the community, police say.
It comes almost one year after Myles Sanderson’s rampage, which left 11 dead and 17 injured in the area, as well as the nearby community of Weldon.
In a statement, Melfort RCMP said they received a report of an assault and someone uttering threats on the Saskatchewan First Nation on August 8, shortly before 11 pm. A woman reported sustaining serious but non-life-threatening injuries in the attack. However, she did not require medical attention.
