Killer at large after double homicide in Lake Winnipeg cottage country: RCMP
Social Sharing Two people are dead and the killer is on the run after a double homicide in Manitoba cottage country, RCMP say. Police received reports of gunshots on Hampton Road in the Sandy Bay cottage area of the rural municipality of Victoria Beach, about 100 kilometres north of Winnipeg, around 2 a.m. on Friday, they said. Officers found a Winnipeg man, 29, and a Victoria Beach woman, 41, dead. Police believe the killer took off from the scene in a white truck and travelled down Highway 59 before officers arrived. The shooting doesn't appear to be random, RCMP said. They also said they know the incident will worry people in the small community on the southeast shore of Lake Winnipeg. "We want to reassure residents, as well as cottagers who may be heading up to that area this weekend, that these murders appear to be targeted, and at this time, we believe risk to public safety is low," RCMP Sgt. Evan Willcock with Manitoba RCMP major crime services said in a news release Friday morning. RCMP are expected to hold a news conference at 1:15 p.m. CT.
