Obsession turns deadly on Rossburn road
Two people die after a man known as Mountain Man and a 44 year old woman die following an apparent murder suicide attempt near Rossburn. The incident began with a pickup crash and a fatal assault before the man took his own life as police closed in. Authorities suspect alcohol may have played a role and await blood results. Dale Jonsson of Beausejour died from injuries after the attack and a lengthy police operation followed. The relationship had spanned four months and ended with the survivor seeking to end the affair.

Deloraine faced a prior ED officer departure after six weeks, prompting interest in a local hire. The shared-cost proposal lowers each municipality’s share but requires a two to three year commitment and potential part time start.
