A “horrific act of intimate partner violence” is what led to a triple homicide in McCreary, Man. last week according to RCMP.
Four people were found dead on Friday in the RM of McCreary – a man with a self-inflicted wound on Road 84 West, and three other people at a home, all of which were being investigated as homicides.
Staff Sgt. Richard Sherring provided more details about what unfolded that day saying 41-year-old Marlon Glover “forcibly entered” the home of a 37-year-old woman at around 1:20 a.m. Glover and the woman were known to each other as they used to be in a relationship Sherring said.
The woman was able to escape, and hid in a wooded area.
Glover then left her home and went to a home nearby. Once there, police said he killed a 66-year-old woman, a 65-year-old man and a 35-year-old man. The three individuals were the parents and brother of the 37-year-old woman.
Sherring confirmed they were all shot by Glover.
Glover then drove to Road 84 West and died from a self-inflicted gun shot wound.
At 12:40 p.m., police found the woman safe and she was taken to hospital as a precaution. Sherring said she remained hidden in the wooded area the entire time.
This is a developing story. More details to come.
