Three people were arrested Sunday night after a person was stabbed in a gravel pit at Roland’s RM. According to the RCMP, the victim and an 18-year-old man from Winkler were in the grave with their friends when a fight broke out with another group of people and he was stabbed several times. He was taken to hospital with serious injuries and later taken to Winnipeg for treatment. The Pembina Valley RCMP identified three suspects and arrested them later that night.
As a result, two 17-year-old men from Winkler face a charge of assault with a weapon, and an 18-year-old man from Reinfeld faces a charge of aggravated assault. They were released and are scheduled to appear in court on August 9, 2022 in Morden. The RCMP continues to investigate.
