Search continues for brothers presumed drowned at Nutimik Lake

Zoe Pierce 4 minute read Updated: 12:58 PM CDT

Search-and-rescue crews on Monday continued their efforts to locate two boys who are presumed drowned after falling into fast-moving rapids at Nutimik Lake on the weekend.

The boys, identified as brothers Aaron Au Ramirez, 13, and Maximo Au Ramirez, 10, were visiting the lake in Whiteshell Provincial Park with their father and some friends when they entered the water near the Sturgeon Falls Trail on Saturday afternoon.

Lac du Bonnet RCMP received a report of the possible drowning at about 12:40 p.m. Police, along with local emergency responders, searched the shoreline and waterways but were unable to find the boys, RCMP said in a news release.

The Manitoba RCMP Underwater Recovery Team and the Hutterian Emergency Aquatic Response Team were later deployed to assist with the search. Drones have also been used.

Woman pleads guilty to beating teens, injecting them with drugs

Dean Pritchard 5 minute read 5:09 PM CDT

Two teens who thought they found temporary harbour in a stranger’s apartment after they missed their late-night bus home were instead terrorized, beaten and injected with methamphetamine against their will, a court has heard.

Simone Thomas, 22, pleaded guilty Thursday to one count each of forcible confinement, aggravated assault and administering a noxious substance with intent to endanger or cause bodily harm to a person.

Details of the bizarre, Feb. 17, 2025, incident were included in an agreed statement of facts read out in court.

Court heard a male and female victim, both 15, had been drinking cans of beer outside the New West Hotel around 1 a.m. when they realized they had missed their bus home. Thomas approached the teens and offered them a place to “hang out” while they waited for the next bus.
