Saskatchewan man who killed 2 Mounties 20 years ago to hear fate of his truck

Curtis Dagenais, a 61-year-old man serving three life sentences without parole for the 2006 murders of two Saskatchewan Mounties, is set to have a court hearing regarding the fate of his 1986 GMC truck. Prosecutors seek to forfeit the vehicle to the Crown, citing its potential relevance to the case. Dagenais was arrested during a high-speed pursuit in Spiritwood, leading to a fatal shootout. At trial, he claimed the officers fired first, while the prosecution argued he initiated the violence. Dagenais' conviction included first-degree murder charges against the two slain officers and attempted murder for wounding a third Mountie.
