Police in Quebec are searching for a man who escaped a minimum security healing lodge north of Montreal, Global News reports.
David Everett Alexson, 51, was serving his sentence at Waseskun Healing Lodge, a non-profit Indigenous-run minimum security prison, prior to escaping on Wednesday.
He was handed an indeterminate sentence for a double murder, arson, breaking and entering, and assault against a police officer.
He has also previously been found guilty of escape from lawful custody and prison breach with intent, which raises questions as to why he was placed in a minimum security prison despite not only being a murderer, but also having escaped from custody in the past.
Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) is coordinating apprehension efforts with provincial police.
Alexson is reported to be 5'6" and roughly 183 pounds. He has black hair and brown eyes, along with scars on his right hand and left arm and multiple tattoos.
CSC says they will investigate how Alexson managed to escape from prison.
