The tragic murders of five Canadians and the domestic abuse that led to them
A Canadian man faces five charges of first-degree murder for allegedly killing his partner, three children, and a female relative on Sunday in southern Manitoba, officials announced at a news conference this week.
The crimes spanned three different locations across the province, including Winnipeg, Carman, and Winker, and took place within hours of each other in the morning around 7.30 a.m., officials said.
Ryan Howard Manoakeesick, 29, the father and partner of four of the victims, was arrested on a highway, where he had pulled his children out of a burning vehicle. The children were six-year-old Bethany, four-year-old Jayven, and two-and-a-half-month-old Isabella Manoakeesick.
The body of his partner, 30-year-old Amanda Clearwater, was found in a ditch on another highway nearby after officials received an emergency call about a hit-and-run.
