(Reuters) - A mother of two, who hours before her death posted on social media about having "many good memories to cherish," and a 77-year-old widower were the first victims to be identified in a stabbing spree in Canada that killed 10 people and wounded at least 15 others mostly in a sparsely populated indigenous community on Sunday.

Two male suspects were still at large on Monday as police tried to determine a motive for the attacks that shocked a nation where mass violence is rare. The incidents took place in the James Smith Cree Nation and the village of Weldon in the province of Saskatchewan, police said. [L1N30C13V]
