Court will hear how murders of 4 women have affected families, community at Jeremy Skibicki sentencing

A Winnipeg courtroom will hear Wednesday morning how the murders of four women by a convicted serial killer affected not only the victims’ families, but also the broader Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities.

Jeremy Skibicki, 37, was found guilty of first-degree murder last month in the killings of three First Nations women — Morgan Harris, 39, Marcedes Myran, 26, and Rebecca Contois, 24 — as well as an unidentified woman who has been given the name Mashkode Bizhiki’ikwe, or Buffalo Woman, by community leaders. Police have said they believe she was Indigenous and in her 20s.
