Mourning day for Greenland

Greenland declared a day of mourning yesterday after an eight-year-old girl and two women were bludgeoned to death and two men seriously injured in a remote Inuit village.

A 22-year-old man has been arrested on preliminary charges, including three counts of murder and four counts of attempted murder, police said. The attack happened on Wednesday in Nutaarmiut, a west coast hamlet with 46 inhabitants, about 560 miles north of the Arctic Circle.

Two men, aged 32 and 81, were seriously injured in the attack and flown to Denmark for treatment, authorities said, adding the condition of the 81-year-old man was “very critical”.
