Mayor of B.C. town of murder suspects urges patience and understanding
PORT ALBERNI, B.C. — The mayor of a Vancouver Island town that was home for two murder suspects is urging patience as police complete their investigation into the deaths of five people.
Medical examiners in Manitoba are working to confirm the bodies of Kam McLeod and Bryer Schmegelsky were found in the province’s northern wilderness, ending a Canada-wide manhunt for the two who were suspected in three killings in B.C.
Mayor Sharie Minions of Port Alberni, B.C. says in a statement she’s relieved the search appears to be over but recognizes it’s difficult news for the families of the two suspects.
She says her thoughts are also with the families of the three people killed on northern B.C. highways.
