The Manitoba government is expected to reveal more information about the upcoming search for the remains of two victims of an admitted serial killer at a news conference Thursday afternoon.
Premier Wab Kinew and an assistant deputy minister are scheduled to make a 1 p.m. announcement regarding the search of a two-hectare area of Prairie Green Landfill north of Winnipeg.
Jeremy Skibicki, 37, has admitted to killing four women — Rebecca Contois, Morgan Harris, Marcedes Myran and unidentified woman known as Mashkode Bizhiki’ikwe (Buffalo Woman). A four-week murder trial, in which Skibicki argued he was not criminally responsible by reason of mental disorder, ended last week. Court of King’s Bench Chief Justice Glenn Joyal will deliver his ruling July 11.
