A key suspect in the mass stabbing in Saskatchewan that left 10 people dead and 18 injured, was granted parole seven months ago, with officials saying that setting the man loose would help transform him into a “law-abiding citizen,” documents show.

Myles Sanderson, 30, is one of the two suspects who went on a stabbing spree at several locations on the James Smith Cree Nation and in the nearby village of Weldon, northeast of Saskatoon, on Sept. 4. Police believe some victims of the mass killings were targeted, while others were selected at random.
