Winnipeg police said on Thursday that two people are dead and a woman who was stabbed at Seven Oaks General Hospital is fighting her life after what police now say were likely three related crimes.
Police in Winnipeg got involved Wednesday afternoon when RCMP called about a homicide in New Bothwell, Man. where a 73-year-old woman had been found dead in a home less than an hour earlier. Winnipeg police say officers were heading to the area of Leila Avenue and McPhillips Street around 2:30 p.m., where they believed they would find the suspect, when they were rerouted to the report of an assault at Seven Oaks General Hospital.
Spokesperson Const. Dani McKinnon said a man in his 30s was taken into custody.
Later that evening, police headed to 310 Toronto St. and found a man in his 70s, dead. They believe he was killed.
Winnipeg police and RCMP say they believe the same suspect is responsible for the the homicides and the assault at the hospital, but wouldn’t discuss a possible motive.
All the victims and the suspect were known to each other, McKinnon said, but did not elaborate.
