  • Four found dead in homicide investigation in McCreary, Manitoba

Mounties in Manitoba say they are investigating four deaths in and around the small community of McCreary, northwest of Winnipeg.

RCMP Staff Sgt. Richard Sherring says around 10 a.m. today, officers acting on a tip found the body of a 41 year-old man on a road who had died from a self-inflicted injury.

Based on that find, they went to a nearby home where they found the bodies of a 36-year-old woman, and two men, aged 35 and 65.

Those deaths are being investigated as homicides.

They found the three bodies after being asked to search for another woman, aged 37, who was later found safe.

Police say all those involved were known to each other, but did not provide further details on identification or the circumstances of the deaths.
