Residents of a Manitoba community are in shock following an apparent triple homicide and suicide last week, as RCMP continues to investigate.
Four people were found dead in the RM of McCreary on Friday. Investigators said RCMP found a man with a self-inflicted wound on Road 84 West. Then, a short time later, police went to a nearby home and found the bodies of a 66-year-old woman, a 65-year-old man, and a 35-year-old man. The three deaths are being investigated as homicides.
Speaking with CTV News Winnipeg on Monday, Ralph McLean said he met the two older victims a few years ago and bonded over their enthusiasm for Bombardier snow buses.
He said they had "a lot of good conversations over the years."
"He was a good guy. I know the community will be missing him 100 per cent," McLean said.
Trevor Martin was a neighbour of the victims and was shocked to hear about what happened.
"Disbelief, it's such a tragedy. How do you explain how you feel when you hear about something like that," said Martin.
