NELSON HOUSE, Man. — RCMP have charged a man with impaired driving offences in the deaths of three boys run down on a road in northern Manitoba.
Todd Norman Linklater, who is 27, faces charges of impaired driving causing death and failing to remain at the scene of an accident.
Mateo Moore-Spence and Terrence Spence, both 11, and Keithan Lobster, who was 13, were hit by a vehicle on Saturday night north of Nelson House.
Two of the boys were walking and one had been riding a bike.
Marcel Moody, Chief of Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation, says the boys were good kids who liked to have fun and often played at his home with his grandchildren.
A vigil was planned for tonight at the road site where they died.
