Curtis Dagenais

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Curtis Alfred Dagenais is a Canadian accused of the murder of two RCMP officers and the attempted murder of another.

On Friday, July 7, 2006, two cars carrying the three officers were dispatched to a house in Spiritwood, Saskatchewan, in response to an alleged assault. As police arrived, Dagenais left the residence in his truck and was followed by two police cars.

Dagenais led the police to Mildred, a town about 12 kilometres away from Spiritwood. Allegedly, shots were then exchanged between him and the police. Both officers in one car were shot in the head. Dagenais fled the scence and a large-scale manhunt was initiated.

On July 15, 2006, eight days after the shooting, two of the injured officers, Robin Cameron and Marc Bourdages, succumbed to their injuries.

On Tuesday, July 18, 2006, Dagenais turned himself in to the RCMP office and was charged with the shooting deaths of the slain officers.
