A man and a boy have been arrested in the shooting deaths of four people on a First Nation in southern Saskatchewan.
Darrius Racette, 18, faces four counts of first-degree murder. RCMP said the youth, who cannot be identified, was to be charged later.
Two men and two women were found dead in a home on Carry the Kettle Nakoda Nation, east of Regina, on Feb. 4.
Mounties previously identified the victims as 34-year-old Tracey Hotomani, 51-year-old Terry Jack, 44-year-old Sheldon Quewezance and 47-year-old Shauna Fay.
The accused were arrested Tuesday. Racette was taken into custody in Yorkton, Sask., and the boy was arrested at Carry the Kettle.
RCMP said investigators are confident the home was targeted. They did not provide details about whether the accused knew the victims or a possible motive.
