Police are investigating eight homicides in Alberta’s capital and the apparent suicide of the suspected killer nearby, in what may be the region’s worst mass murder in decades.

Four female adults, two male adults, one boy and one girl were found dead last night and early this morning at two separate homes in Edmonton. The suspected killer, an adult male, was found dead at a Fort Saskatchewan restaurant about 40 kilometers (24 miles) northeast of Edmonton, said Rod Knecht, chief of the Edmonton Police Service.
