SIOUX VALLEY DAKOTA NATION — A 16-year-old Sioux Valley boy has been charged with second-degree murder after a fatal stabbing in the community early Tuesday morning.
Virden RCMP were sent to a house in Sioux Valley at around 5 a.m. after receiving a report of a stabbing at a residence.
Officers found two men, ages 23 and 25, with stab wounds, RCMP said in a news release Wednesday.
Mounties were told the suspect had left the scene, the release said.
Emergency medical services transported the 25-year-old, who was in serious condition, to the hospital, where he later died, RCMP said. The other man sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
Officers found the suspect at another residence in the community a short time later and arrested him without incident, Mounties said, adding that they had help from officers from the Blue Hills detachment, the West District Crime Reduction Enforcement Support Team (CREST) and police dog services.
Virden RCMP and Manitoba RCMP Major Crime Services continue to investigate.
A family member of the victim confirmed on Wednesday that the deceased and accused were related.
One house in Sioux Valley was surrounded by yellow police tape, and two First Nation safety officer vehicles were parked on either side.
A forensics van was parked outside another house in the community.
