Three suspects are in custody after a man was stabbed on Pinaymootang First Nation late last month.

Manitoba RCMP issued a news release Friday, announcing arrests in the June 30 stabbing, which left a man severely injured near a cemetery in the community, located about 240 kilometres northwest of Winnipeg.

Officers responded to reports of a stabbing in the area around 10 p.m. and provided emergency first aid to the victim before he was taken to the hospital, where he remains in stable condition, RCMP said.

The victim told police the suspects fled in a vehicle, and efforts to locate them in the area were unsuccessful, the release said.

The investigation continued until Canada Day when, around 4 p.m., police executed a search warrant at a home on School Road. Police arrested three people and seized two machetes and various firearms, RCMP said.

Police charged Gerald Sinclair, 29, and Wendy Cook, 45, both from Lake St. Martin, with a slate of crimes ranging from aggravated assault to unsafe storage of a firearm. Greyson Ryle, 32, of Fairford, is facing similar charges.

All three suspects remain in custody and the investigation is ongoing, RCMP said.
