The records show a Winnipeg court granted his release June 12 with various conditions, including a curfew and an order to not use drugs or alcohol or possess weapons.

RCMP say Simard stabbed eight people at two homes on the First Nation northeast of Winnipeg on Thursday.

His 18-year-old sister died and the others are in hospital.
