The man who was allegedly involved in the murder of an elderly man and his daughter in Calgary has been found dead.
Benedict Kaminsky, 38, was located in the Water Valley area, about an hour northwest of the city.
"At approximately 3:40 p.m., we received tips from the public in relation to the suspect's vehicle being parked along a road," the Calgary Police Service wrote in a statement. "Upon arrival, police located the suspect near his vehicle deceased. At this time, police are no longer looking for a suspect in relation to the homicides that occurred on Sunday, Dec. 29, 2024."
The first murder took place shortly before 9:30 p.m. Sunday night on the 0 to 100 block of Kincora Grove N.W. When police arrived on scene, they found the 70-year-old man dead.
