RCMP Sergeant Scott Tod speaks during a press conference in Merritt, B.C. on Wednesday April 16, 2008.
The Mounties say the suspect in the murders of his three children in Merritt, B.C. was in rough shape when he was arrested in the woods not far from the scene of the crime.
Tod says Allan Schoenborn was suffering from dehydration, but there was no evidence he had tried to commit suicide, and he was checked in hospital before being taken to jail. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Sam Leung
