ESTERHAZY – Police are investigating a suspicious death in a rural area south of Esterhazy and Stockholm. Just after 4 a.m. on Feb. 10, RCMP in Esterhazy and Broadview received the call of a break and enter, and are looking for multiple suspects.
“Initial investigation has determined three males broke into a residence,” said RCMP in a media release. “An adult male who lived at the residence was located deceased at the scene by police. His death is considered suspicious.”
A woman also in the home was injured and taken to hospital for treatment.
“The suspects stole at least one firearm from the residence, stole the home owner’s vehicle and left the scene,” RCMP said.
That vehicle was later discovered abandoned and ablaze on a grid road close by.
Police are continuing their investigation, but currently do not have a description of the individuals involved.
“We ask the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity or information to police immediately by calling 911 or your local RCMP detachment or police service,” RCMP said.
