In the James Smith Cree Nation and village of Weldon on Sunday, ten people lost their lives and 18 were injured in knife attacks.
Another suspect, Sanderson’s brother, was found dead in a grassy area near one of the crime scenes on Monday.
Earlier Monday, a notice sent through Saskatchewan’s emergency alert system reported a person armed with a knife driving a stolen vehicle northeast of Saskatoon.
“There is no longer a public safety risk associated with this investigation,” the RCMP wrote on Twitter.
