‘Lock your doors’: manhunt for Canadian teen murder suspects Kam McLeod and Bryer Schmegelsky moves to remote town of York Landing

- Duo are sought in the killings of three people in northern British Columbia
Canadian police have urged people in a remote northern town to stay inside and lock their doors as officers hunt for two teenagers sought in the killings of three people in northern British Columbia.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police tweeted on Monday that they are using “all possible RCMP resources” in the manhunt around York Landing in northern Manitoba province.
Nineteen-year-old Kam McLeod and 18-year-old Bryer Schmegelsky have been charged with second-degree murder in the death of Leonard Dyck, whose body was found last week in British Columbia.
They are also suspects in the fatal shootings of Australian Lucas Fowler and his American girlfriend, Chynna Deese, of Charlotte, North Carolina, whose bodies were found on July 15 along the Alaska Highway about 500km (300 miles) from Dyck’s killing.
The RCMP earlier urged people in York Landing “to stay inside & check all doors & windows to ensure they are closed & locked”. Police also asked people to avoid revealing the locations of officers on social media.
