SASKATOON, CANADA – Two men, Cory Rushkewich and Randy Rushkewich, are currently in custody awaiting a preliminary hearing scheduled for September. The charges against the brothers stem from a violent attack in Rosetown that left a man fighting for his life in a Saskatoon hospital.
In December of 2023, Cory Rushkewich was granted bail in Saskatoon but was later arrested for breaching release conditions. He now faces charges including aggravated assault, pointing a firearm, and robbery. His brother, Randy Rushkewich, has been in custody since his arrest in November of the same year.
The incident in question took place in Rosetown on November 11, 2023, where a group of people reportedly engaged in a confrontation. During the altercation, one man allegedly stole a cellphone from a woman and brandished a firearm, resulting in serious injuries to a male victim who required treatment in a Saskatoon hospital.
Doctors had to induce a coma for the victim’s recovery, as reported by the family to local news sources. The severity of the assault and robbery has led to these charges against the Rushkewich brothers, further emphasizing the gravity of the situation.
Rosetown RCMP continue to investigate the incident to ensure justice is served for the victims, with the upcoming preliminary hearing in September expected to shed more light on the details of the case. Both suspects remain in custody as the legal proceedings unfold, awaiting their day in court to address the charges brought against them.
The community in Rosetown and beyond remains concerned about the safety and well-being of its residents following such a violent incident. As the case progresses through the legal system, authorities and local residents alike hope for a resolution that brings closure to the victims and ensures that justice is served for all parties involved.
With the preliminary hearing on the horizon, the Rushkewich brothers’ fate will soon be decided, marking a significant moment in a case that has captured the attention and concern of many in the Saskatoon area. Time will tell the outcome of this troubling event and the impact it has had on all those affected.
