First-degree murder charges laid in 2022 Onion Lake death

Jan 17, 2024 | 1:09 PM

Two people have been charged in an Onion Lake homicide that happened over a year and a half ago.

On July 1, 2022, RCMP received a report of an injured man located in a camper next to a home in the Onion Lake Cree Nation.

Officers quickly responded and found the man, who’s since been identified as 46-year-old Abdo Grayman. He was transported to hospital where he later passed away.

The circumstances surrounding the man’s death were investigated by the Saskatchewan RCMP Major Crime Unit along with the Onion Lake Detachment, the North Battleford General Investigation Section and Forensic Identification Services, and the Lloydminster RCMP Dog Services.

As a result, 21-year-old Dennis Cardinal, from Onion Lake, was arrested in Onion Lake on Nov. 29, 2023.

On Dec. 11, 2023, 30-year-old Kimberly Thunderchild, from Lloydminster, was arrested in Edmonton.

Both have since been charged with first-degree murder and are scheduled to appear in Lloydminster Provincial Court today.
