The last suspect in a horrific stabbing spree that killed 10 and wounded 18 in western Canada is dead following his capture, and police hope the stunning end to a gripping hunt that stretched into a fourth day will bring some peace to victims' families.

Today I’m talking to journalist Brad Hunter of the Toronto Sun about horror in Saskatchewan, about an orgy of violence which has devastated a struggling community and about the background of a crazed killer who has so far evaded police.
