Canada mass stabbing suspect dies after being arrested

The remaining suspect in a stabbing rampage in Canada that left 10 dead and 18 others injured died after he was captured by police, officials said.

Myles Sanderson, 32, was taken into custody on a highway in the province of Saskatchewan yesterday after a high-speed chase.

Officers rammed Sanderson’s vehicle off the road into a ditch near the town of Rosthern, and he was detained but went into what a spokeswoman described as “medical distress”.

The chase followed a report of a stolen vehicle being driven by a man armed with a knife.

Officers at the scene attempted CPR and he was taken to hospital by ambulance, but died shortly afterwards.
