R-C-M-P are following up on a tip that two teenage homicide suspects from Port Alberni were seen southwest of Gillam, the northern Manitoba community that’s been at the centre of the search since last week. Manitoba Mounties posted an update on Twitter late Sunday afternoon saying they were sending resources to York Landing, around 90 kilometres from Gillam. The tweet said residents should expect a heavy police presence in the area, and officers would continue to update the public as information becomes available. Eighteen-year-old Bryer Schmegelsky and his 19-year-old friend Kam McLeod are charged with second-degree murder in the death of Leonard Dyck, a U-B-C botany professor. They’re also suspects in the deaths of Australian Lucas Fowler and his American girlfriend Chynna Deese.
