Man responsible for mass stabbing on James Smith and Weldon broke release conditions three times
How and why Myles Sanderson was released from prison was the topic during day seven of the inquest looking into the mass stabbing on the James Smith Cree Nation and the Village of Weldon.
Cindy Gee, the district director for Correctional Service of Canada responsible for Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Northern Ontario, testified on Tuesday.
She was specifically requested to testify because Sanderson, the man responsible for killing 11 people and injuring 17 others on Sept. 4, 2022, was granted statutory release in August 2021.
Gee explained offenders have the right to serve the last third of their sentence in public. The only people who aren’t eligible right away are those sentenced to life or an undetermined time.
