‘I couldn’t imagine what he was capable of’: Elders speak about interactions with mass stabbing perpetrator
An elder who spoke with the man responsible for the mass stabbing attack on the James Smith Cree Nation and Village of Weldon while he was in prison believes he really wanted to better himself.
Geraldine Arcand spoke Monday at the coroner’s inquest looking into exactly what happened on Sept. 4, 2022.
The inquest is a fact-finding exercise to determine the events leading up to a death. The jury is not tasked with determining fault but rather looking at the circumstances and making recommendations to prevent similar incidents from happening.
Arcand explained she interacted with Myles Sanderson during his first couple of months while he was incarcerated at the Saskatchewan Penitentiary.
