A Cremona man has been charged with two counts of attempted murder after a violent incident in the early hours of Nov. 18, 2024. Didsbury RCMP responded to the scene at a residence in Cremona following a call from a complainant in Calgary.
“At approximately 2:30 in the morning, Didsbury RCMP was dispatched to a report of a disturbance,” says RCMP Cpl. Gina Slaney. “The complainant called police and indicated that there was a male in that residence who was attacking two other occupants.”
Upon arrival, officers found an 86-year-old man and a 59-year-old woman suffering from severe injuries.
The suspect, identified as 29-year-old Montana Ronquist, was located in the basement and taken into custody.
