Myles Sanderson was arrested on Wednesday near Rosthern, RCMP said
The second man wanted in a grisly stabbing spree on an indigenous reservation in Canada has been taken into custody after a four day manhunt.
Myles Sanderson, who was the target of a massive manhunt across the Saskatchewan province, was apprehended on Wednesday afternoon near Rosthern, according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
'There is no longer a risk to public safety relating to this investigation. Updates to come,' an RCMP spokesperson said in a statement.
Sanderson, 30, had been the only remaining suspect at large in the Sunday massacre left 10 dead and 18 injured on the James Smith Cree Nation reservation.
Sanderson's brother Damien - his alleged accomplice in the massacre - was found dead Monday, of injuries cops say were likely not self-inflicted.
The RCMP said they were looking into whether Damien may have been killed by his brother.
'It is an investigative avenue that we are following up on, but we can't say that definitively at this point' an RCMP spokesperson said.
All ten victims of the grisly stabbing spree on an indigenous reservation in Canada have been identified.
The victims were Lana Head, 49, a mother of two; Christian Head, 54; Gregory Burns, 28; Gregory's aunt Gloria Lydia Burns, 61, an addictions counsellor who was killed responding to an emergency stabbing call; Gloria's sister-in-law Bonnie Burns, 48; Thomas Burns, 23; Carol Burns, 46; Earl Burns, a Canadian military veteran; Robert Sanderson, 49; and Wesley Patterson, 77.

The attacks were among the deadliest in Canada's modern history - and some of the victims appeared to have been targeted, while others were apparently random.
A mother of two, a 77-year-old widower, a first responder and a 14-year-old boy were the initial victims identified.
The siblings - who were described as armed and dangerous - are the chief suspects in attacks on 29 people in 13 different locations on the James Smith Cree Nation on Sunday afternoon.
Myles Sanderson has been wanted since May when he stopped going to court mandated visits with his parole officer.
He disappeared while out on parole on a five year sentence for assault, robbery, mischief and making threats, according to Regina police chief, Evan Bray.
He was charged with three counts of murder in the first degree, one count of attempted murder and one count of breaking and entering.

Damien Sanderson was previously charged with one count of murder in the first degree, one count of attempted murder and one count of breaking and entering. But police confirmed that he's now been found dead.
'We know. We are confident that someone out there knows the whereabouts of these two and has information that would be valuable to the police,' said Bray. 'I urge you to get in touch with your local police service.'
The brothers fled in a black Nissan Rogue SUV which was spotted 200 miles south of the indigenous reserve.
'This is my brothers' vehicle that they took when they entered our home this morning in James Smith Cree Nation,' a woman posted on Facebook, according to SkyNews Canada.
'We (can't) care less about the vehicle but let these monsters be caught.'

The brothers are believed to have stabbed the victims across 13 sites in the indigenous reserve and in the nearby village of Weldon, northeast of the city of Saskatoon.
A police alert and search expanded from Saskatchewan to include neighboring Manitoba and Alberta provinces - a vast region half the size of Europe.
The chief of the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations suggested the stabbings could be drug-related, as it emerged that Myles was listed as 'unlawfully at large' by police in May.
