Manitoba RCMP provided new details on the timeline of events that occurred in connection to the incident near McCreary. 

Investigators with RCMP Major Crime Services now believe that on Aug. 16, at 1:20 a.m., Marlon Glover, a 41-year-old male, forcibly entered the residence of the 37-year-old female. This forcible entry was targeted as the male and female were known to each other through a previous relationship. She was able to escape and hide in a wooded area.

The 41-year-old male left the residence and went to a nearby home. He then killed the 66-year-old female, 65-year-old male and 35-year-old male. These were the parents and brother of the female.

He left the residence in his vehicle, stopped on the side of the road 84 West, and died from a self-inflicted gun shot wound.

The family has requested privacy at this time.

An RCMP investigation is underway into what appears to be, multiple homicides near the Town of McCreary.  At 10:10 a.m., Ste Rose du Lac RCMP received a call related a body found on Road 84 West in the R.M. of McCreary.  When officers arrived, they located a 41-year-old man dead from a self-inflicted injury. 

While police were still on that scene, they received a second call, asking for a well-being check on a 37-year-old woman. Officers went to her residence, but she was not located there.

Police then travelled to another nearby home in search of the female and upon arrival, found three people dead. The deceased were, according to the official RCMP press release, a 66-year-old female, a 65-year-old male, and a 35-year-old male. Their deaths are currently being investigated as homicides.

Additional police resources were deployed to the area and at around 1:00 p.m. the missing female was found safe, but taken to hospital as a precaution. 

RCMP are confirming that all five people involved in this incident were known to one another. Police are looking for no other suspects.

The Major Crime Services along with Ste Rose du Lac RCMP and Forensic Identification Services are continuing to investigate.
