Graphic details emerge during first day of trial for man who admitted killing four First Nations women
May 8, 2024
Graphic details about the crimes of a man who admitted to killing four First Nations women were revealed for the first time in a Winnipeg court on Wednesday, including his video confession during a nearly 20-hour police interrogation and the audio recording of the 911 call that first alerted authorities to the deaths in 2022.Jeremy Skibicki, 37, told the court earlier this week that he unlawfully caused the deaths of 24-year-old Rebecca Contois, 26-year-old Marcedes Myran, 39-year-old Morgan Harris and an unidentified woman whom Indigenous elders have named Mashkode Bizhiki’ikwe, meaning Buffalo Woman. But Mr. Skibicki’s defence attorneys are arguing he was not criminally responsible for the murders because of mental illness.

The extended drought made up for the lack of fuel available to the fire, known as MWF-017.
