A man was arrested Sunday on suspicion of killing five people, including three children who were pulled dead from a burning car in Manitoba, Canada, police said.
The 29-year-old, who has not been named, is accused of the string of murders in three connected incidents the same day across rural communities Sunday morning. None of the victims have been publicly identified.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said they were first called to a reported hit-and-run near Carman, southwest of Winnipeg in the province of Manitoba, at 7:30 a.m. on Sunday.
Officers found a woman in a ditch nearby who was pronounced dead at the scene.
Then, at 10 a.m. police were called to a car fire about 40 miles north, in the rural municipality of Cartier. A witness pulled the bodies of three children from the burning car while officers were en route.
