A former southwest Saskatchewan resident has been identified as a victim in a double-homicide in Hanna, Alberta this week.

RCMP say 39-year-old Lenette Euteneier and 47-year-old Bruce Rideout died of gunshot wounds in a home in Hanna early Thursday morning. Euteneier previously lived in Shamrock, Webb, Swift Current and Regina, and only moved to Hanna a few weeks ago.

Police arrested 24-year-old Curtis Rideout, the son of the male victim, and charged him with first and second degree murder. He'll appear in a Drumheller courtroom on March 16th.
