Forensic unit probes P.A. crime scene

Apr 22, 2015 | 5:26 PM

A home in Prince Albert’s East Flat has been sealed off by police tape as investigators continue to work at the crime scene.

Officers with the Prince Albert Police Service (PAPS) and the RCMP’s Forensic Identification Services unit were at the house, which is located between First and Second Streets East and 11th Avenue East.

One forensic investigator in a white jumpsuit entered and exited the home several times on Wednesday afternoon. The front door and the garage door were wide open, giving no indication of what occurred at the home the night before.

The home is apparently connected to the deaths of five people, in particular, the death of a man who police believe killed a mother and three children in Tisdale. The woman and her three children, all under the age of nine, were found dead at a trailer court park after 1 a.m. on Wednesday morning.

Police tracked the suspect to a home in Prince Albert at 2 a.m. and at 6:20 a.m., they found his body. He was found with a six-month-old baby, who was not hurt. The baby is now in the care of family members.

The woman has been identified as Latasha Gosling by her sister Laura Gross.

“I just know they were murdered and the guy who did it killed himself this morning in front of his daughter.”

Gross told CKOM News that the man had been with her sister for a number of years.

“We got really different vibes from him. We never got to see the kids or anything,” she explained.

Neighbour sees suspect arrive in P.A.

There are also new details coming to light about some of the events that took place in Prince Albert between Tuesday and Wednesday.

The suspect was seen by neighbour John Urquhart pulling up to the home in Prince Albert with a Kia SUV on Tuesday afternoon.

Urquhart said he saw him pull a child seat from the vehicle. 

The crime scene in Prince Albert has unsettled some residents living near the taped-off home.

Lee Zoerb, who has lived along Second Street East for a decade, said his mother-in-law came over to his house upset about the situation. He said she asked him to “check it out.” He had stopped at the street corner in his truck to look at what was happening.

“It’s kind of shocking.”
