Royal Canadian Mounted Police launched a nationwide manhunt for 19-year-old Kam McLeod and 18-year-old Bryer Schmegelsky on July 19, with at least five provinces taking part in the search.
The childhood friends were suspected of killing 64-year-old Leonard Dyck, 24-year-old Chynna Deese, and 23-year-old Lucas Fowler. McLeod and Schmegelsky were charged with second-degree murder in the death of Dyck. They were suspects in the deaths of Fowler and Deese.
Two bodies believed to be McLeod and Schmegelsky were found near the shoreline of the Nelson River in Manitoba, RCMP assistant commissioner Jane MacLatchy said in a press conference on Wednesday.
