Suspect in slaying of two Saskatchewan Mounties turns himself in
Photo full image
The intensive manhunt for the suspect in the slaying of two Saskatchewan Mounties ended Tuesday when Curtis Dagenais turned himself in to authorities. (CP handout photo)
REGINA (CP) - Relief from all quarters was immediately palpable as RCMP announced in Regina on Tuesday that the suspect in the slaying of two Saskatchewan Mounties had turned himself in.
Curtis Dagenais, 41, walked into the detachment in Spiritwood, Sask., accompanied by friends Rosanne and Armend Smith and surrendered without incident.

Fortunately he turned him self in without incident, we don't need any more dead cops by his hand. He can now become familiar with a jail setting, where he will spend the rest of his life.

Are you sure this killer used a rifle?
Not that it makes any difference, IMHO.
Maplethorpe, and Toronto last year, simply prove heavy gun control does not work. Period.
Edited to say....
Wendy Cukier is on my list of least liked people in the western hemisphere.
The idea that me registering my long guns would have prevented any of this is completely ludicrous.
Quoting
The rifle used in Maplethorpe was a Heckler and Koch Model 91, already prohibited in Canada. It's status will not change under the new rules.
The last eight RCMP officers killed, have been killed by a rifle. Is it possibly a mistake to take rifles off the gun control list?

It's really a shame that we currently do not have capital punishment in this country. At the moment, I could not think of a better candidate for the death penalty than Mr. Dagenais.
He killed two RCMP officers in cold blood and what better way to provide justice to the family members of the two fallen officers than to convict Mr. Dagenais to death.

Guns laws do not need to be changed, but the death penalty should be reviewed. You could easily add Clifford Olsen to the list of suitable candidates.
I had heard that there was a bit of a mystery about the shooting involving the RCMP, it was said in the local news that the 911 call came in one hour after the shooting had occured. Did anyone else hear this?

This really horrifies me. I've always thought it was a good thing that my brother serves in a smaller community, but in the last 2 years we've seen how little safety that guarantees.
I find it odd people would argue in favor of reinstituting the death penalty which has absolutely no value in preventing future murders.
