A mass stabbing suspect has been found dead while another remains at large after 10 people were killed and 19 injured in a bloody rampage.
Police have said they found the body of one of two brothers charged in relation to the devastation in an indigenous community in Saskatchewan, Canada, on Sunday.
31-year-old Damien Sanderson's remains were discovered in James Smith Cree Nation while his brother, Myles Sanderson, 30, may be seeking medical help.
Rhonda Blackmore, commanding officer of the Saskatchewan Royal Canadian Mounted Police told a news conference on Monday local time the latter "may have sustained injuries".
The attacks took place in 13 locations across James Smith Cree Nation and Weldon.
They were among the deadliest in Canada's modern history.
Mum-of-two Lana Head is one of the identified victims.
The ex-partner and father of her two daughters Michael Brett Burns confirmed the news to APTN saying her current partner also died on Sunday.
Mr Burns said the community where the freak violent incident occurred is still in mourning and guarding its privacy.
He said many family members were struggling with the loss and he visited Melfort Hospital to spend time with them.
Friends and family have begun paying tribute to Ms Head on her Facebook page, with her son tragically writing: "Mom. You never got to see my sweet 16."
Wes Petterson, a 77-year-old widower who frequently helped out his neighbours, was also reportedly killed.
A statement by indigenous leaders indicated the attacks may have been drug-related.
Police said some of the victims appeared to have been targeted, while others were apparently random.
Police previously provided photos of the two men, who they said were armed and dangerous.
They were traveling in a black Nissan Rogue and spotted in the city of Regina, about 320 km (200 miles) south of the attacks in the James Smith Cree Nation and the village of Weldon, police said.
The suspects were likely in Regina, the city's police chief, Evan Bray, said in a Twitter video late on Sunday.
Indigenous people account for less than 5% of Canada's population of about 38 million and suffer from higher levels of poverty and unemployment than other Canadians and also have a shorter life expectancy.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his government had been in direct communication with the James Smith Cree Nation leadership, adding, "we are ready to assist in any way we can."
James Smith Cree Nation is an indigenous community with a population of about 3,400 people largely engaged in farming, hunting and fishing. Weldon is a village of some 200 people.
The nation's elected elders declared a state of emergency.
Police bulletins urged people to report any suspicious persons and to take precautions including sheltering in place, while warning against picking up hitchhikers or approaching suspicious people.
"Do not leave a secure location. Use caution allowing others into your residence," one advisory said.
