A 40-year-old man is dead and a woman is hurt after an assault in the RM of Corman Park, the RCMP said.
According to police, the victims were travelling in a car with three other men early Monday morning when “an altercation occurred” which saw the victims assaulted while the car was stopped near the intersection of Penner Road and Rural Road 350.
The RCMP said the three men fled in the vehicle — a white Honda Civic — after the assault, and police and paramedics found the victims at the scene. The man was pronounced dead and the woman was taken to hospital. Police did not comment on the extent of her injuries.
The male victim was a resident of Corman Park, the RCMP said. His family has been notified, but the RCMP didn’t release his name.
Later on Monday, RCMP officers arrested two men and a woman in Saskatoon in connection with the investigation. Police said the Honda was recovered, and noted there will be a large police presence on Marlatte Street, where the arrests took place, as officers continue to investigate the case.
One other man is still wanted in connection with the incident, the RCMP said. The suspect, 28-year-old Ashtin Ritzand, was described as white and about six feet tall with a slender build, red hair and green eyes.
“Ritzand should be considered dangerous and should not be approached,” police said.
No information on criminal charges was shared by police.
