Suspects sought in Norway House homicide

Norway House — A Norway House man is dead, and another is in hospital after what RCMP say are two related stabbing incidents late Thursday night.

Mounties say it was around 11:45 p.m. when they responded to reports of a stabbing in the Niskaview area of Norway House Cree Nation.

They say an 18-year-old man was stabbed during an altercation with several suspects. He was rushed to hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

While officers were at the hospital, a second stabbing victim– a 17-year-old man– was also brought in with serious injuries.
