According to Winnipeg-based RCMP spokesperson Const. Miles Hiebert, RCMP in Island Lake received a call in the early morning hours of July 11, informing them of a serious assault. The victim, 32-year-old Terence Fiddler, later died.

Two 16-year-old males from Garden Hill were arrested and charged with manslaughter, and will appear at provincial youth court in Winnipeg on the afternoon of July 13. A post-mortem will be conducted on the body on July 12, also in Winnipeg.
