On August 2, 2023, at approximately 12:10 pm, Norway House RCMP responded to a report of 2 individuals having been assaulted with a bat at a residence located on Niska View in Kinosao Sipi Cree Nation. The two victims left the residence and attended to the neighbours to contact police.

Officers arrived and located the two victims, a 36-year-old-male and 37-year-old female, with serious injuries. Both were taken to hospital where the female was treated and released. The male was transported by life-flight to Winnipeg where he was treated after suffering life-altering injuries.

The two female suspects (31,29) were located at the scene and arrested without incident. They were taken back to the Norway House RCMP Detachment where they were later released from custody on an Undertaking for court scheduled October 19, 2023, in Norway House, where they will each face two counts of Aggravated Assault.

Norway House RCMP continue to investigate.
