The RCMP are continuing to investigate a homicide from early Friday morning.

It happened in a home about 20 kilometres south of Esterhazy, around 4 am.

When police arrived they found a man dead, and a woman injured.

At the time, police said the three suspects in this case stole a gun, and a car from the home.  That car was found abandoned on a nearby grid road a short time later.

Sunday afternoon, the RCMP Major Crime Unit released the first descriptions of the three people believed to be responsible.
