Sentencing hearing for Winnipeg serial killer to hear from women’s families – Castanet
Aug 28, 2024
Families and supporters of four Indigenous women who died at the hands of a serial killer are expected to address the man for the first time today in a Winnipeg courtroom.
A judge convicted Jeremy Skibicki last month of first-degree murder in the 2022 slayings, which put another spotlight on the issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls in Canada.
A first-degree murder conviction carries an automatic life sentence with no chance of parole for 25 years.
During the sentencing hearing, families of the women will get a chance to provide victim impact statements.
