WINNIPEG – Mounties in Manitoba are investigating four deaths in and around the small community of McCreary, northwest of Winnipeg.
RCMP Staff Sgt. Richard Sherring said around 10 a.m. Friday, officers acting on a tip found the body of a 41-year-old man on a road who had died from a self-inflicted injury.
Based on that finding, they went to a nearby home where they found the bodies of a 66-year-old woman, and two men, aged 65 and 35. Those deaths are being investigated as homicides.
“I want to express my condolences to the family and friends who have lost loved ones today,” said Sherring.
“While we only have limited information, we know the impacts this will have on the community and felt it’s important to detail the events that we know to date.”
Officers found the three bodies after being asked to search for another woman, aged 37, who was later found safe. Police said she was taken to hospital as a precaution.
Mounties said all those involved were known to each other, but did not provide further details on identification or the circumstances of the deaths.
Sherring said officers are not looking for any suspects.
Premier Wab Kinew said he spoke with the reeve of McCreary, Rick Sonnenberg, to express his support for the community.
“This is heavy,” Kinew wrote on the social media platform X. “Let’s be there for each other.”
McCreary is a small community of just shy of 500 people near Riding Mountain National Park.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published on Aug. 16, 2024.
