Saskatchewan’s chief coroner says two public inquests are to be held following a deadly stabbing rampage northeast of Saskatoon on Sept. 4.

One is to focus on 11 deaths on the James Smith Cree Nation and in the nearby village of Weldon. The other is to focus on the death of suspect Myles Sanderson in police custody days later.
