Former Partner of Confessed Serial Killer to Testify in Winnipeg Trial

The ex-wife of a confessed serial killer is set to take the stand in a Winnipeg courtroom on Thursday. Jeremy Skibicki, who is facing four counts of first-degree murder for the killings of four Indigenous women, had a protection order filed against him by his ex-wife in 2019 after allegedly stalking and sexually assaulting her.

Skibicki’s defense team claims that he committed the murders in 2022 but is not criminally responsible due to mental illness. However, Crown prosecutors argue that the killings were racially motivated and that Skibicki targeted the women at homeless shelters.

One shelter worker testified that Skibicki once mentioned going to the shelter to find a victim. The victims in question are Rebecca Contois, Morgan Harris, Marcedes Myran, and an unidentified Indigenous woman known as Buffalo Woman.

The trial has been ongoing, with witnesses providing chilling testimonies about Skibicki’s actions and behavior leading up to the murders. The case has sparked outrage and concern in the community, with many calling for justice for the victims and their families.

As the trial continues, more details are expected to emerge about Skibicki’s alleged crimes and the impact they have had on the community. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
