ICYMI: Saskatchewan stabbings suspect Myles Sanderson reportedly made a final “goodbye” trip to visit friends and family in Regina after carrying out one of the deadliest mass killings in Canadian history.

The intel that the force had originally received about Myles Sanderson still being in Regina seems to have stemmed from an initial sighting on Sunday that placed him in the front seat of a black Nissan Rogue on Arcola Avenue, a main thoroughfare that cuts through the city’s east end.

That call came in at 11.40am, approximately six hours after the first 911 calls were placed at James Smith Cree Nation, which is more than a three-hour drive away from where he was reportedly later seen on Sunday.

A new report from The Daily Beast could shed more light on that sighting, with unnamed sources close to the manhunt saying they believe the 30-year-old suspect had driven into Regina to make a round of goodbyes to family and friends and “to see [those Regina connections] for the last time”.

“I was at the scene on Sunday,” he said, noting that they would discuss some of those details in the presser and that some of those details “will be a little harsh to here, we’re gonna speak the truth.”

“She’s not a victim, she’s a hero,” he said.

“That’s what we want people to remember … how she made people laugh, at kids birthdays, at weddings, at celebrations,” said the relative.

ICYMI: Mark Arcand, the brother of Bonnie “Goodvoice” Burns, 48, said during a press conference on Wednesday that a GoFundMe was being created for his sister and his nephew, Gregory “Jonesy” Burns, 28, after the mother and son were both killed on Sunday during an abhorrent stabbing attack in northern Saskatchewan.

“In the early morning hours on September 4, 2022, Bonnie Burns and her 28 year old son, Gregory, had their lives taken in a senseless act of violence at their home on the James Smith Cree Nation,” organiser Shelley Arcand wrote.

“Nothing anyone can do will bring Bonnie and Gregory back but we would like to lessen the financial burden on the surviving family members as they try to move forward. Any funds raised will go towards Brian and their boys for specialized counselling and ongoing support as they navigate this tragic situation,” it added.

The online fundraiser has a goal of $50,000 and within just a couple hours of being live it had already raised more than $5,000.

Myles Sanderson, a suspect in the weekend stabbing spree that killed 10 and wounded 19 people across a First Nations community in rural Canada, died from self-inflicted inflected wounds after being arrested on Wednesday, according to officials. An unnamed Canadian official told The Associated Press that Sanderson died after police rammed his car off the road.

The suspect was taken away live in an ambulance before later succumbing to his injuries, Global News reports, citing multiple unnamed law enforcement sources.

ICYMI: The relative of Bonnie Burns discussed how “the most important thing for Bonnie was family,” noting how his sister had recently celebrating milestones, such as being sober for 15 years of her life. “Those are the things we want to remember.”

“She was a member who made a difference in people’s lives,” he said remembering her home that was filled with love and care. “And the children always came first.”

Gregory, known in his family as “Jonesy”, was a great kid, his uncle remembered.

“He worked in the community, he built houses, he did whatever he could to help his mom and dad and take care of his three brothers. And those are the things we want people to recognise and remember.”

“That mountain is the devastation of what happened to our family member and what its gonna take to heal from senseless acts as this that happened to our community our family our province and our country,” said the relative.

“When I think about what the future looks like my sister my family members they’d want us to move on to heal but to never forget. To carry love in your heart. Carry compassion, to be united, to think of other people.”

“We’ve shed a lot of tears in the last couple days. But at the end of the day, we loved our sister, Brian’s wife, Chuck’s daughter, our niece our nephew … and they loved us too. That’s what we want people to remember.

“We’re hurtin. We’re broken, but we’re not defeated.”

The official spoke on condition of anonymity as the person was not authorized to speak publicly about the matter.” the AP reported.
