The Saskatchewan RCMP provided a brief update on Feb. 5 about the ongoing investigation into four suspicious deaths.

RCMP confirmed two men and two women were the victims of the quadruple homicide that took place on Feb. 4.

RCMP have not released the names of the deceased as coroners are still working to confirm their identity. The investigation into the manner of death is still being investigated.

“Though formal identification is pending, our family liaison team is providing investigational updates to loved ones we believe may be impacted by these homicides. We are also actively referring them to Victim Services for support.”

On Tuesday afternoon the bodies of four people were found inside a home on Carry the Kettle Nakoda Nation.

RCMP said in a news release that File Hills First Nations Police Service was called to the home around 11:15 a.m, and found the bodies.

The same day, a so far unlinked incident happened not far away on the Zagime Anishinabek First Nation, where a man pointed a firearm at people.

In a Regina residence, 29-year-old Keagan Panipekeesick was arrested by the Regina Police Service. At the same residence on Mathieu Crescent, two other people were taken into custody.

Both investigations are still underway and RCMP are “unable to confirm a link at this time.”

RCMP said in the release they were unable to provide more details, but Chief Scott Eashappie of Carry the Kettle Nakoda Nation took to Facebook on Tuesday to notify the community a homicide had taken place.

RCMP said that families had been notified and the deaths were “suspicious in nature.”

The Mounties added that there would be an increased police presence in the area, situated about 80 kilometres east of Regina.

Police also said that around 3:15 p.m., the RCMP received a number of reports of a man pointing a gun at people on Zagime Anishinabek (formerly known as the Sakimay First Nation) northeast of Regina, where there was also an increased police presence.

RCMP added that officers did not know if the two incidents were connected, but asked that people remain vigilant and exercise caution in the Zagime Anishinabek area.

Just after 1 a.m. on Wednesday, the RCMP issued a statement saying the 29-year-old man suspected of pointing the gun had been arrested.

The RCMP is expected to release more information on the case later on Wednesday.

Chief Scott Eashappie of Carry the Kettle Nakoda Nation took to Facebook on Tuesday to notify the community a homicide had taken place.

In Eashappie’s Facebook post, made on Feb. 4 at around 1:30 p.m., he says one of the homes had a break-and-enter on the night of Feb. 3.

The post said, “We ask everyone to please stay clear as there has been a homicide on north side of reserve.”

He added that he was sorry to have to announce it on Facebook.
