Four individuals believed to Indian nationals – a man, woman, teenager and baby- have been found frozen to death just north of the U.S. border in Canada.  The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) found the deceased in a field near Emerson, Manitoba, on Wednesday, after they were alerted by their counterparts in the U.S.

One American citizen has been arrested in connection with the case on the U.S. side of the border. Seven other Indians were detained by police in the U.S. – one of whom is in the hospital from serious weather related injuries.
