A 27-year-old man has been charged in the deaths of three children Saturday near Nelson House, Man.


Todd Norman Linklater, 27, has been charged with three counts each of impaired driving causing death, impaired driving causing death with a blood-alcohol level over the legal limit, and failing to stay at the scene of an accident, RCMP said Monday.


Linklater is accused of being behind the wheel of a car that hit Keithan Lobster, 13, Mateo Moore-Spence, 11, and Terrence Spence, 11, while they were walking and biking with their friends just outside of Nelson House Saturday night.


Linklater is in custody and will appear in court in Thompson Monday, said RCMP. None of the charges have been proven in court.


Nelson House Chief Marcel Moody confirmed the three boys were hit on Provincial Road 620 at about 10:30 p.m. CT Saturday. The road is the main access route in and out of the community, which is about 660 km north of Winnipeg.

RCMP said the driver of the car was heading southbound on the road, along with four passengers, when his vehicle struck the three boys. One was riding a bicycle, and the other two were walking.


All three boys died at the scene.


The driver got out of the car and ran away from the crash, but turned himself in to the Nelson House RCMP detachment later that night.


“Here we have a situation where alcohol is involved and we have three youths’ lives taken away, so I imagine there is shock, there’s probably some anger, but we want to assure everyone up there that we have resources in place,” RCMP Sgt. Paul Manaigre said Sunday.


Vigil to be held


A vigil will be held in the community at 7 p.m. Monday, Moody said in a statement posted on Facebook. Community members will gather at the site of the crash, then a community gathering will also take place.


Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak Grand Chief Sheila North said MKO will help with crisis supports for the community. 


In the meantime, the community is in a state of shock and is just trying to deal with the tragedy in their own way,  Moody said.


“Everybody’s grieving, trying to figure out what’s happened in the community.”

Canadian expected to be aboard Russia's 1st manned space mission since rocket failure

READ MORE The first manned mission to the International Space Station since a Russian rocket failed to launch successfully earlier this month may take off on Dec. 3, space agency Roscosmos said on Wednesday. And the crew is expected to include Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques, Agence France-Press reported. A Russian cosmonaut and U.S. astronaut were forced to abort their mission on Oct. 11 and perform an emergency landing after a launch accident that Roscomos said was caused by a faulty sensor. The accident was the first serious launch problem experienced by a manned Soyuz space mission since 1983, when a crew narrowly escaped before a launch pad explosion. Sergei Krikalyov, a senior Roscosmos official, was quoted by state news agency Tass as saying the next manned launch had been planned for mid-December, but that Russia was trying to bring the date forward so that the ISS is not briefly left without a crew. “The industry is making significant efforts to move the launch t...

Getting the dope on pot stocks is becoming easier as media groups invest in content: Don Pittis

READ MORE “What’s the buzz? Tell me what’s happening,” goes the ’70s rock anthem. Part of the catchiness of the lyric — from the rock musical Jesus Christ Superstar  — was that in that era the term “buzz” had developed a second spicy meaning. It described the high that people got from smoking cannabis. In the 1970s, the magazine High Times was a brand new title keeping an eye on the illegal but growing business of marijuana pricing and sales. It ran centrefolds of glistening pot plants and of an apartment filled to the windows with what the magazine insisted was an entire ton of cannabis. Now some of Canada’s most staid media voices are looking for ways to go toe to toe with High Times and its U.S. competitors, hoping to profit from Canada’s global head start in legal recreational cannabis. But when it comes to making a killing from spreading the buzz on the cannabis biz, to q...

Toronto man denies conspiring with Marvel CEO in alleged hate mail scheme

READ MORE A Toronto man accused of conspiring with the head of Marvel Entertainment in a bizarre hate mail campaign against his wealthy former employer has denied any role in the alleged scheme. David Smith, along with Marvel CEO Isaac (Ike) Perlmutter, is the target of a slander lawsuit launched earlier this year by Canadian businessman Harold Peerenboom. Now Smith — a former employee of Peerenboom’s Toronto-based executive search firm, Mandrake Management — has filed a motion to dismiss the U.S. civil suit. It’s the latest development in the years-long legal battle between Peerenboom and Perlmutter, a notoriously reclusive American billionaire and personal friend of U.S. President Donald Trump. The hate mail campaign, which ran   between 2012 to 2015, saw anonymous letters falsely accusing Peerenboom of being a child molester, murderer and anti-Semite...
