A 32-year-old woman was sexually assaulted in Gillam Aug. 5 and RCMP are asking the public for help identifying the suspect or suspects.
The assault took place in a wooded area near the town’s trailer court and is believed to have occurred between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. and Gillam RCMP continue to investigate.
“We do not have a description of the suspect(s) and are asking for assistance from the community” said Manitoba media relations officer Sgt. Paul Manaigre in an Aug. 13 news release. “If anyone heard or saw something near the Gillam trailer court in the early morning of Aug. 5, they are asked to immediately contact the Gillam RCMP. They should not assume police have the information, even the smallest of detail could help further this investigation.”
