On December 31, 2023, at approximately 2:15 pm, Chemawawin RCMP received a report that a female had attended the Nursing Station suffering from severe injuries due to an assault.

 

An investigation determined that a 27-year-old female from Easterville was assaulted at a residence in the community on December 28, 2023.

 

She had not sought assistance before attending the Nursing Station, as the individual who assaulted her forcibly confined her to the residence where the assault occurred.

 

Further investigation determined that a 24-year-old male was also assaulted at the same time, suffering minor injuries.

 

The female was transported to The Pas Health Complex and then to Winnipeg Hospital with serious injuries.

 

Brendan Young, 26, was arrested in Easterville on January 1, 2024, and charged with Aggravated Assault, Forcible Confinement, and Failure to Comply with Release Order x3.

 

He remains in custody.
