-

SADDLE LAKE, Alta. — Two people have died and 14 people were injured when two vehicles on their way home from trick-or-treating crashed on a slippery road northeast of Edmonton.

RCMP Cpl. Ron Bumbry says two vans — one with six people and the other with 10 people, collided about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday night on the Saddle Lake Cree Nation, about 165 kilometres northeast of Edmonton.

Bumbry says a 42-year-old man and a 43-year-old woman, both of Saddle Lake, who were in the northbound van were pronounced dead at the scene.

The other 14, which included a oneyear-old and a two-year-old, were taken to area hospitals with serious, non life-threatenin­g injuries.

MORINVILLE, Alta. — RCMP say the death of an Edmonton man whose body was found north of the city this week was the result of a homicide.

Krishneel Kamal Kumar, who was 26, was discovered Monday by a farmer working in a field in Sturgeon County.

The farmer, who did not disclose his name, said the body was on the side of a hill and that he didn’t realize what he had spotted until he got closer.

Police say an autopsy on Tuesday determined Kumar died as a result of criminal activity.

No one has been arrested and a number of RCMP units are involved in the investigat­ion.
