Two Manitoba teens have been charged with separate homicides, including one, in which pedestrians were “intentionally” hit by a car, according to the RCMP.
The first incident took place around 8.45pm on Friday, when two pedestrians were hit by a car near Dupont Street in Powerview-Pine Falls.
Police said one of the pedestrians, a 27-year-old woman, was taken to hospital with injuries that did not endanger her life. The other pedestrian, a 20-year-old man, was pronounced dead at the scene. Both pedestrians were from Powerview-Pine Falls.
RCMP agents investigated and alleged that a 15-year-old girl was driving when she “intentionally” hit these people.
The suspect, who is from the Sagkeeng First Nation, has been charged with second-degree murder and assault with a weapon. She was arrested and is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday.
Stabbing THOMPSON
The second unrelated incident took place around 12:10 on Sunday morning, when RCMP officers responded to a stabbing on Thompson Public Road.
When officers arrived at the scene, they found a man with life-threatening injuries.
The 43-year-old man, who is from Winnipeg, was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
A 15-year-old boy from Thompson has been charged with second-degree murder. He was arrested and is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday.
None of the charges in any of these incidents have been proven in court.
Police are continuing to investigate the two homicides.
