A St. Clements man is in custody and his dog is dead after a series of alleged axe-wielding vandalism incidents and a shed fire, Manitoba RCMP say.
Officers from the Selkirk detachment responded to a rural residence in the Rural Municipality of St. Clements just before 6 p.m. Tuesday, for a report of a man with an axe smashing the windows of a home and a pair of parked vehicles.
Police tracked the suspect down to his own home, where he was found outside next to a shed that was engulfed in flames. Police say they have also determined that the suspect killed his dog.
