Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs will discuss the next steps to try to search a landfill near Winnipeg for the remains of two Indigenous women.
Posted: Feb. 10, 2023 6:41AMFamily and friends of three murdered women gather at a vigil in Winnipeg, Thursday, December 1, 2022. It was announced that Jeremy Skibicki faces three more charges of first-degree murder. In addition to Rebecca Contois, who was identified earlier, Skibicki has been charged in the deaths of Morgan Beatrice Harris, Marcedes Myran, and an unidentified woman whom Indigenous leaders have dubbed Buffalo Woman.
The group has called a news conference today following the federal government’s commitment of $500,000 for a feasibility study on the proposed search. The two women are among four alleged victims of Jeremy Skibicki, who has been charged with first-degree murder.Police initially rejected the idea of a search, citing the passage of time, the lack of a precise location within the landfill and the tonnes of material that have been deposited in the area.
