“Section 111(1) of the Youth Criminal Justice Act prohibits publishing the name of a child or young person that identifies that young person as a victim of a crime committed, or alleged to have been committed, by another young person,” the police said in a release.
“As the Regina Police Service has not yet identified and arrested suspects in this case, the circumstances described above are still a possibility.”
Police and the Saskatchewan Coroners Service are investigating. Anyone with information that could help in the investigation is asked to call the Regina Police Service at 306-777-6500 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
