Premier Sends Condolences After "Unimaginable Tragedy"

As the town of Campbellton prepares for a vigil in honour of the two young boys believed to have been killed by a python, the Premier is offering condolences to the community and the family on behalf of the province.

Premier David Alward says they are shocked and saddened by the tragic loss of two lives full of promise and potential. Police say Noah and Connor Barthe were found dead on Monday morning after a 45-kilogram African rock python got out of its enclosure.
 
Alward, a father himself, says after the RCMP present their findings, the province will provide whatever help is needed. You can read the message in its entirety here.
