Manitoba RCMP to provide update on hunt for B.C. murder suspects

Aug 7, 2019 | 12:58 PM

WINNIPEG — RCMP in Manitoba say they will be making a significant announcement this afternoon regarding two British Columbia murder suspects.

Mounties say they will be making the announcement at 2 p.m. local time in Winnipeg.

RCMP said yesterday that they found several items linked to Bryer Schmegelsky and Kam McLeod, who are suspects in the killings of three people last month in northern B.C.

Mounties did not say what the items are, but that they were found on the shore of the Nelson River in northern Manitoba.

RCMP searched the river near Gillam over the weekend after a damaged aluminum boat was discovered there Friday.

They said a dive team conducted an underwater search “of significant areas of interest” on Sunday.

The news comes after RCMP said last week they would be scaling back their manhunt in the Gillam area, where a burned-out vehicle the suspects had been travelling in was found.
