On April 3, 2023, at approximately 12:40 am, Island Lake RCMP received a report of three individuals being attacked and injured in Garden Hill First Nation. Officers attended the Nursing Station immediately, where three victims were being treated for slash wounds.

Initial investigation has determined that a party was being held at a residence in the community when a female was asked to leave the party. The 33-year-old female left and then returned with a box cutter, slashing a 26-year-old female, a 24-year-old female, and a 39-year-old male. All three have life-altering injuries.

The suspect was located and arrested. She is charged with Aggravated Assault x3, Uttering Threats x2, and Possess Weapon for a Dangerous Purpose. She was released from custody pending a May court appearance.
