Three people have been charged in connection with a stabbing in a cemetery in the north of Manitoba's Interlake region.
At 10 p.m. Monday, RCMP responded to a report of a stabbing in the cemetery in Pinaymootang First Nation, about 215 kilometres north of Winnipeg, where they found a 30-year-old man suffering from severe injuries.
Mounties provided first aid before the man was rushed to hospital. He remains in stable condition.
One day later, RCMP — including police dog services and emergency response unit personnel — executed a search warrant on School Road and made three arrests, a news release said Friday.
A man, 29, and woman, 45, from Lake St. Martin, were charged with aggravated assault, firearms and weapons offences and more.
A 32-year-old man from Fairford was also charged with aggravated assault, firearms and weapons offences, as well as violating a release order and failing to attend court.
All three remain in police custody.
RCMP continue to investigate.
