WINNIPEG — A judge is scheduled to give his decision today in the first-degree murder trial of a man who admitted to killing four women in Winnipeg.
Lawyers for Jeremy Skibicki argue he should be found not criminally responsible and say he was suffering from schizophrenia at the time of the slayings in 2022.
The case sparked calls for governments and organizations to address the ongoing issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. Contois was from O-Chi-Chak-Ko-Sipi First Nation, and Harris and Myran were from Long Plain First Nation. All three were living in Winnipeg when they were killed. Das said Skibicki knew at the time the killings were legally wrong but lacked the capacity to know they were morally wrong.
During a police interrogation, Skibicki admitted to killing Contois and the three other women. He said the killings were racially motivated and cited white supremacist beliefs.
