The RCMP revealed Thursday that its investigation into four deaths near Neudorf on Sunday has determined the incident was a murder-suicide.

In an update, police said a 67-year-old man, a 58-year-old woman and their 30-year-old son were murdered. The Mounties said another son, aged 34, died as a result of self-inflicted injuries.

The Mounties haven’t named the victims, but 980 CJME has confirmed the property where the four bodies were found is owned by JoAnne and Gary Bender.

The RCMP also hasn’t named the murderer or provided details on how the victims were killed.

On Sunday, RCMP officers who were conducting a wellness check found four bodies in a farmhouse about five kilometres northeast of Neudorf.

The village, which has a population of less than 300, is located about 135 kilometres east of Regina.

On Tuesday, community members were in disbelief about the deaths, and wanted to know what had happened.

“Police are not seeking additional suspects in regards to this incident and we do not anticipate having further updates related to the investigation as no charges will be laid,” the RCMP said in the update.
