They sit behind the window glass, fearing the return of the stray brother; this is the situation of the residents of a Canadian town fearing a terrifying knife that is still free.

After long hours of pursuit that put three Canadian provinces on alert, the police have not yet succeeded in finding the "terrifying knife".

The Canadian police are still searching for a second suspect in the knife attack that the town of "James Smith Cree Nation" of Indigenous residents was subjected to last Sunday, which left 10 dead and 18 injured.

While the second suspect is still in hiding, Canadian police found his brother, Damian Sanderson (31 years old) dead.

The police had deployed hundreds of their officers to search for these two brothers, especially in the wilderness.

While the search was focused at one stage on Regina, the capital of Saskatchewan province, which is 300 km south of the town, one of their bodies was found on Monday evening.

On Tuesday, the search campaign moved to the Indigenous town, where the police issued an urgent message stating that investigators "received reports of a possible presence" of the suspect Miles Sanderson there.

The police asked residents to "stay in their places and take shelter" while a helicopter flew over the town's sky.

Although the details have not yet become fully clear, the police suspect that the fugitive brother may have killed his brother, according to what Deputy Commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Rhonda Blackmore stated.

She said that he "is likely injured and in need of medical treatment".

Fear dominates and sadness prevails

Although the motives of the attack are still unknown, Miles Sanderson has a record of violent acts, which casts a shadow of fear over the town.

This was expressed by Ruby Works, a resident of Weldon, to Agence France-Presse, saying: "It is terrible... our lives will never be the same again".

The former Olympic athlete spoke about the frightening tense atmosphere hanging over the area.

She added, "The town is very quiet... people are afraid to leave their homes", noting that "usually the children are outside playing, and now we don't see any of them".

She continued, "People sit rigid behind the window glass and watch. They are afraid that (the suspect) might return and repeat his act".

Meanwhile, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau expressed his regret over the recurrence of these tragedies in the country, saying he "is shocked" by what happened.

In recent years, Canada has witnessed a series of violent attacks that resulted in dozens of dead and injured.
