WINNIPEG – Sleep may be fleeting for RCMP investigators in Manitoba who are dealing with six homicides in the province since near the end of last month.
Sgt. Line (LIHN) Karpish, an RCMP spokeswoman, says homicide and forensic units are quite tired after dealing with four deaths since the start of the year and six overall since Dec. 30.

Karpish says the investigations are taxing their resources.
She also says she can’t recall in past years having four homicides in the first four days of any given year.
The latest homicide happened on the Keeseekoowenin First Nation, where Mounties found the body Friday night of a 34-year-old man.
