A Winnipeg man charged with first-degree murder in connection with the homicide of a woman in May police described as horrific has been charged in connection with the deaths of three more Indigenous women in the city.
Jeremy Anthony Michael Skibicki, 35, has been charged with three more counts of first-degree murder, Winnipeg police announced Thursday afternoon.
He was previously arrested and charged with first-degree murder in connection with the death of Rebecca Contois, 24, who is from Crane River First Nation.
Mayor Scott Gillingham called Thursday a “painful day for Winnipeg.”
“We must never become numb to the horrors of the news that we’re hearing today, because every homicide represents a life,” he said. “As a father, as a husband, I feel deep sorrow for these lives that have been lost far too early.”
Contois’ partial remains were discovered near an apartment building on Edison Avenue on May 16. Additional remains were found at the Brady Landfill in June.
At the time of Contois’ death, police said they were investigating the possibility of additional victims.
