RCMP says 7 of 10 female aboriginal homicides committed by aboriginal offenders

Seventy per cent of the solved murders of aboriginal women were committed by people of aboriginal descent, RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson says in a letter to Grand Chief Bernice Martial of the Treaty Number 6 Nations.

The letter, dated April 7, was in response to a request from Martial for the RCMP's report on missing and murdered aboriginal women and for access to the National Center for Missing Persons and Unidentified Remains database.
